Notes:
The Cowsills And The Lincoln Park Zoo - The last two songs (Love Theme From Haight Street and If You Gotta Go (Go Now)) are by The Lincoln Park Zoo and not The Cowsills. Just Bill, Bob, Barry and John contribute to this one.

The Cowsills - Barbara's voice is added on ths album and the pictures on the cover were taked at Halidon Hall, Newport, Rhode Island. In Japan this was release with a red vinyl version.

Published by Birchmount a part of Quality Records Limited. Listing states it was "27 weeks at the top of the UK albums chart"
Captain Sad And The Ship Of Fools - The clown on the cover was a make-up man. John said he did makeup for the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz and taught John to cross one eye.

The Cowsills In Concert - Recorded in Cleveland, Ohio (per Bob), and fine tuned in the studio. Based on newspaper articles, I believe this may have really been in Champaign, Illinois. The photos on the cover were not taken at this particular concert. The photos were staged at the Troubadour in Hollywood while wearing clothes by Genie the Taylor.

On My Side - The rock on the cover is somewhere in the Malibu Hills. Bill is missing on this LP.
Nervous Breakthrough - This is Bill's first solo LP after leaving the group. He records the song II x II, just as his siblings did. David Wray is credited with writing the song II x II but Bill really wrote the song and later sold the rights to David.
