The recording was captured by a tape recorder that Shelly's aunt, Margaret Parker, had in her handbag. The notes also state that "Shelly and William are now separated."

Track 6 originally performed by The Valentinos and made famous by The Rolling Stones Track 7 consists of "Viva Las Vegas" (originally performed by Elvis Presley) which ends at 3:27, followed by silence, then a hidden track beginning at 4:45 consisting of the Trailer Park Casanovas original song "Drunk", recorded at the same performance as the rest of the album. Writing credits for tracks 3 and 7 are listed as Leiber/Stoller (Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller), though both were actually written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman.
