• The band in the photograph is playing under a coke sign, "Cement, Gravel, and Rock Co.", could possibly be the name of the act on stage.
• Track 43 was co-written by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo.
• Tracks 51 and 52 were sourced from Vinyl Factory Mix 10: Django Django (Library music special)

Lyrics

• Track at 1:21:54

On the hill starts a bright new day
Soon the queen will come our way
The hillside's a place to share
A place to grow, love and care
