The actual players on the tracks are still anybody’s guess. Nick Gravenites sings lead vocal on the tracks written by his wife (or maybe it’s a copyright stunt? On the CD release they are credited to Nick). Some of the titles differ from record to record.
The album was originally released in Germany
