LP housed in a custom-printed Fantasy Inc. frosted plastic inner sleeve

B4b timing is for B4a & B4b combined

On back cover:
"I Just Want to Be Here" is basically an improvisation by Flora and the musicians listed as co-composers, but also makes use of the words and music of the Brazilian song "Saiuba, Saiuba" by Jorge Ben.

Flora's lyrics for "Stories to Tell" include some titles and phrases from Neville Potter's words for Chick Corea music; such songs, first performed by Flora when she was part of Chick's Return To Forever group, will always be a part of her musical "story," for which special thanks remain due to both those fine writers.

Recorded (May, July 1974) and remixed (August 1974 at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley Ca.

Remixed by Jim Stern, with cooperation and interference by the artist, the percussionist and the producer.
