Note: Most issues of this recording, and subsequently most sources, indicate the recording date of these sessions as "A&R Recording Studios, New York; October/November 1969." The October 11 date is listed in Walter Bruyninkx's Vocal Discography: Singers & Crooners 1917-1986 and DCC DJZ607 lists the recording date as November 1969. I believe both Los Angeles and New York locations were utilized during this time period, but other details are unavailable.

PAEAN - AN ACT/INTER-ACT COMMUNICATION
unknown location, unknown date
unknown (p); "The Association of British Secretaries in America Ltd. (ABSA)" (vcl).

a. Introduction (Carl Menkel)
b. To Thomas J. Watson (Carl Menkel)
c. To C.A. Kirk (Tune: "Carry Me Back To Old Virginny") (Carl Menkel)
d. To J.L. Barton (Tune: "Oh! Susanna") (Carl Menkel)
e. To F.W. Nichol (Tune: "Home On The Range") (Carl Menkel)
f. Paean (Tune: "Sweet Molly Malone") (Carl Menkel)
g. Ever Onward (Carl Menkel)
h. Hail To The I.B.M. (Carl Menkel)
i. To Thomas J. Watson (Tune: "Auld Lang Syne") (Carl Menkel)
j. (The) I.B.M. Country Club Song (Tune: "Annie Lisle") (Carl Menkel)
k. Land Of Hope And Glory (Carl Menkel)

Note: (1) ACT apparently stands for the "Advanced Computer Techniques Corporation" and INTER-ACT is listed as "a wholly owned educational subsidiary of ACT." (2) Thomas J. Watson (Jr.) was president of IBM from 1956 to 1971 (he died in 1993). F.W. Nichol, served as Vice President and General Manager, C.A. Kirk as Executive Vice President and J.L. Barton as Resident Manager, Endicott Plant probably around the same time. (3) Hard to say whether this mercifully brief sing-along album is a joke or serious (yes, the words seem to take it all very seriously). But it is apparently a late 1960s attempt to return "high company (IBM) spirit in industry." Absolutely none of the usual Skye traits are in evidence here.
