Notes

Steve Allen was an entertainment success by means of radio, television and recorded music. For example, Mr. Allen had created and was the first presentator of the Tonight Show in 1953. A few years later, he had numerous successful discs of 33.33 rpm by means of the Coral record label. In the 1960s, Mr. Allen was the presentator of his own live television series, one of which featured a young Francesco Zappa, who had demonstrated that one could make music by using bicycle parts that represented musical instruments.

Despite the largely prosperous entertainment programs that Mr. Allen had presented, this Dunhill disc was NOT a successful seller probably because most of the baby-boom generation preferred to listen to loud rock and roll music. This disc featured Hal Blaine, a drummer and Gabor Szabo, who was a guitarist whose music style had incorporated jazz, pop, rock and Hungarian music, and had composed three tunes of this disc. This was the final Dunhill disc of 33.33 rpm of which the front jacket had indicated only the Dunhill logo due to the fact that Mr. Alder had sold Dunhill to ABC records in the late summer of 1967.

The next Dunhill disc, Dunhill D-50022 was the first of which the front jacket had indicated both the ABC records logo directly under the Dunhill logo. This was a transitional logo-structure that was featured by means of the next four Dunhill discs of 33.33 rpm. However, the a- and b-sides of these Dunhill vinyl discs still had indicated only the Dunhill logo.
