Notes from Greg Russo:
Burt Ward, the "Boy Wonder" Robin on the "Batman" TV series, was signed to MGM Records in
June 1966 after an unproductive stint on the ABC-Paramount label. Tom Wilson produced with
Zappa arranging and conducting, and the break in the master numbers indicates that other
songs were recorded at these sessions: "Teenage Bill Of Rights", "I Love" ["Autumn Love"?],
"The Comedian" and "Tears Come From Loving You". Of these, Ward only vocalized on "Teenage
Bill Of Rights", the other ones were meant to have his vocals, but time ran out at the
recording session. Those recordings are backing tracks arranged and conducted by FZ, who's
heard on occasion on the session tape. The record was released on November 14, 1966.
