A handful of the covers are by now-notable people. Two 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 abbreviated name "J.Galvez". The "[[Mykel and Carli]]" cover, credited to "V. Khanna," is by [http://vishkhanna.com/ Vish Khanna], host of the popular indie rock podcast Kreative Kontrol.<ref name="Vish Khana website">[http://vishkhanna.com/about/discography-that-no-one-cares-about/ Vish Khanna Discography page]</ref> | |||
A second compilation was planned, and new submissions were requested in the [[Weezine Issue 14 - May 1999|May 1999 edition]] of ''Weezine''. 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. New Contest!.
