Notes on the tracks

Three members of the Choir would form the Raspberries with Eric Carmen in the early 1970s. This track is the flip side of their first single; the classic "A" side, "It's Cold Outside" can be found on Pebbles, Volume 2. Another version of "Stepping Stone" is included on Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2. These Squires and Outcasts are not the same bands that were included on Pebbles, Volume 1; according to some sources, the latter band is actually from Kentucky. Phil Keaggy, who was evidently a member of the Squires, was a founding member of Glass Harp and later became a renowned contemporary Christian recording artist.
