Production Notes
The Studio ended up a bit smoke-clogged.
We’re not sure the music worked
The test girls chain-smoked the whole time
Post Production Notes
Sadly they didn’t leave a record, in appreciation, for our efforts
However a reviewer had this to say
Music to help you stop smoking
An album released in 1964. The Phoenix New Times offers some info about it:
Hot on the heels of surgeon general Luther Terry’s 1964 finding on the dangers of smoking came this, the most absurd of the Living Strings’ “music to do something by” series. Of course, what instrumental songs like “Clair de lune” and “Yellow Bird” have to do with staving off lung cancer is inconsequential — it’s the liner notes that make the persuasive pitch: “Only will power will make you stop smoking. But this music may help your will power.”

Have to give them some credit for the willpower to try and sound convincing. Haha!
