Two of the selected covers were performed by members of the band [[Ozma]]; [[Daniel Brummel]] and [[Jose Galvez]]. Brummel performed "[[You Gave Your Love to Me Softly]]" under the pseudonym "Chee Chee Boyz" (leaving a note on his credit, stating "I can't hit Rivers's high notes"), while Galvez performed "[[The World Has Turned and Left Me Here]]" under the shortened title "J.Galvez". | Two of the selected covers were performed by members of the band [[Ozma]]; [[Daniel Brummel]] and [[Jose Galvez]].

A second compilation was planned (with submissions being accepted in ''Weezine Issue #14''), however, likely due to the [[Historic event: 07/09/1997|untimely death of Mykel and Carli Allan]] and slow decay of the fan club, the album would not be released.<ref>1999.
