[edit] Trivia
An early version of "Someone Keeps Calling My Name" done in a folk-rock vein reminiscent of The Byrds appeared on the obscure 1966 album Chapin recorded with his brothers, Chapin Music!. The main guitar riff (and entire arrangement) in this version is strikingly similar to The Blue Things' equally obscure 1966 track "Doll House."
