Unfortunately, the album gives frustratingly little indication, as neither Brown nor any of the four members were interviewed for this release’s liner notes. Instead, Sundazed makes heavy use of a current interview with one of Brown’s two frequent songwriting partners, Tom Feher (the other being Bert Sommer, who died in 1990). Now a music teacher in the L.A. area and known as Tom Fair, he offers up little in the way of actual info, indicating he didn’t know the band well nor did he partake in the actual album sessions (aside from cowriting some material with Brown). On some facts, he “believes” they might be the case; others he “thinks” this could have happened, and about Brown’s relationship with Montage, he “speculates.” Even in regards as to how a solo-composed Feher composition wound up on the album (the only non-Brown track), Fair “can’t quite recall.” This is not to disparage Fair and he is to be commended for participating, but surely Sundazed could have located at least one member or prodded Brown to say something current. It only says he doesn’t regard the project as one of his favorites and then quotes him from a May 6, 1988 Goldmine interview by contributor Dawn Eden… Christopher & The Chaps Arr John Abbott, 1965 1-36918 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue 1-36919 They Just Don't Care 1-36980 It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding ~ (Two Versions Of ) Fontana single 1530 Christopher & The Chaps Arr Ron Frangipane, August 1969 1-44204 Good Times Are Comin' 1-44205 You Turn My Whole World Around ~ Fontana single 1668 STRANGERS ON A TRAIN Relix RRLP-2021 © 1986 01-04 & 07-10 Reg April 17, 1978 01.

CLOUD ELEVEN was the first full-length release on DF2K (Del-Fi 2000), an imprint run by young pop-fiend mavericks on the staff of a legendary and often-infamous indie label from the Sixties -- Del-Fi Records.
