About the LP TITLE// Ginger Baker: "Mick Turner was one of the roadies ...and he was driving along and Eric [Clapton] was talking about getting a racing bicycle.

Recorded by Link's brother Vernon Wray at "Wray's Shack Three Track", a 3 track studio Link Wray had converted from an old chicken shack on his farm in Accokeek, MD.
