From the back cover: Though any self-respecting convict will enjoy each and every one of these memorable songs, your tears will flow from laughter while you gurgle-along with Al Alberts and The Lifers Chorus. The record isn't available at this precinct on The Lifers Chorus (though they are all pros but no cons) but here are the fact about Al Alberts. He organized and spearheaded The Four Aces into national prominence and world acclaim. He sang the lead on such million-record sellers as It's No Sin, Tell Me Why (which he also wrote), Stranger In Paradise, Three Coins In The Fountain and Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing. He communicates a feeling of pleasure that makes you want to sing-along. He's been doing it on his own in nightclubs and theaters for the past few years.

Bix Rechner, a Police reporter for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin for twenty-two years, is Al's partner in this jail-house adventure. Bix has been doing more than re-writes on criminal activities and acquiring a lexicon of gangland language. He has been writing some songs you have been singing like You Better Go Now, Midnight On The Trail, Stop Beatin' Round The Mulberry Bush, Papa Love Manbo, Sept! It's Wonderful, Teenage Prayer and I Need Your Love Tonight. He has also written scores to many of the Mask & Wig Shows at the University of Pennsylvania – Note by Mort Goode
