Notes

Details of this overdub session comes from the logbook of Mary Holladay Pederson, who sang backing vocals at this session.

As no backing vocals are present on the final master of 'Stranger In My Own Home Town', it appears that the backing vocals recorded at this session were not used.

Thanks to Mary Holladay Pederson (The Holladay Sisters Facebook page)
