Don't be fooled by the budget looking graphic on the jacket. Creed Taylor produce this set which is just one more of his many inventive pop projects.

The cover copy is a bit misleading in that the "ping pong" isn't a pronounced effect engineered into the mix to play with the stereo channels as heard on many LPs marketed this way. Any "ping pong-like percussion sound is more part of the arranging to produce a complete and interesting tune.
