A great soundtrack to this non-box-office success, it sank with no trace and was hard to find already in 1974. Today it’s almost impossible, but it’s a must for collectors. Track (11) is credited to Maria Muldaur, but it’s the melody from “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry”. Tracks (14,15) appear to be different takes.
