I See You--An upbeat, jazzy song that features some of the psychedelic guitar themes that McGuinn would later explore, this one departs from the electric folk influences that so moved this band and allowed them to play music that was a little harder and edgier.
2-4-2 Fox Trot (The Lear Jet Song)--This song was written by McGuinn by virtue of his friendship with Lear Jet manufacturer John Lear, a fact I didn't know until I read the liner notes of the album.
I Come And Stand At Every Door--The melody of this song was taken from a Judy Collins album, and the words were translated by Pete Seeger from a poem by Nazim Hikmet.

 DAVID WINTERS TRIBUTE SITE
David had a feeling that this movie was destined to win a few Academy Awards and to become a classic, and he wanted to develop a fresh, sharp character that would be his own and that would stand the test of time.
David had a lot of fun, and recorded a couple of tunes, but in the end, concluded that he was not an RandB singer and the material they were offering him was just not a good fit.
David understood the casting of the co-directors, Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, as Eliot was the youngest actor and if he wasn’t cast as the youngest Jet, it might have been hard to place him elsewhere within the gang.

 Hot Rod Lincoln
When the hatch was shut on his channeled rod, I heard him sing out to a gathered crowd, "don't stand to close when I throttle her back, man this rod is mean, like there ain't no slack." When the count-down came, later that day, blasted off, he was up-and-away.
Ol' Joe had a slick jet, I mean, and I flew a souped-up X-15.
HOT ROD RACE by Red Foley written by George Wilson Decca 46286, 1951 Billboard review date: 30-Dec-50 Chart position: #7 Country Red Foley was apparently the fourth to cover this song, and he changed a few lines, possibly to attract a larger crowd.

 PETER, PAUL and MARY : MusicWeb Encyclopaedia of Popular Music
Travers had been off-Broadway actress, Yarrow a solo folksinger, Stookey a stand-up comic and sometime singer; they were put together by Albert Grossman (before he managed Bob Dylan) and were immediately successful (one critic described them as 'the Kingston Trio with sex appeal').
'Leavin' On A Jet Plane' was a surprise no. 1 '69, but their impact had now dulled; Stookey had converted to Christianity, changed name to Noel Paul Stookey; they split, reunited for George McGovern benefit '72, in '78 after an anti-nuclear benefit, later did 50 concerts a year.
quirky 'I Dig Rock'n'Roll Music'; Late Again '68 kept fans happy; Peter, Paul And Mommy '69 was an album of children's songs.
