(2) It's very possible the above sessions were intended to be issued as a Garry (aka Gary; aka Gerry) Sherman recording project, with Kai Winding participating in a support role. This discographer surmises that the late-1963 top 10 success of Winding's similarly-themed single, "More," caused the above album to be rushed out - without many significant credits, including any mention of Sherman's name - to be released under Winding's name.
