The album was recorded live at Dweet's Royal Oak, 604 Main St Hackensack, on Monday, March 20, 1978.
THE FRONT COVER
The small pictures, from upper left to upper right, are:
Terry Hogan (the Hulkster?)
Roy Atkinson
Dweet
Phil Cenicola (I shot this guy when he appeared on The Uncle Floyd Show performing the same song that he does on this album - "Louie Coletti")
Peter Scance
David Scance
See the peach in the upper right corner? All graphics on the covers and sleeve were done by Peach Arts, which used to be at 817 Main St (and which did some snazzy business cards for me a decade later - where's Tom Flynn these days?)
As the graphic in the upper left indicates, the album was engineered and mixed at Fox Recording Studios, located at 9-11 Station Square in Rutherford.
Next to that graphic is a small sticker on which someone wrote the word "crazy". This was on the album when I bought it on eBay years ago.
THE BACK COVER
Self-explanatory.
THE SLEEVE 1
The small writing along the top and upper right side are Peach Arts credits. In the bottom left is the Royal Oak's Sanitary Inspection Report. In the upper right is the Hackensack sign. The city was apparently not in motion yet - it was just the "Capital City of Bergen County". The bottom line on the sign is superimposed and says "Home of Dweet's Royal Oak 604 Main Street".
Aside from Dweet, I couldn't tell you who any of the pictured people are.
THE SLEEVE 2 (not pictured)The other side of the sleeve shows mostly a long story that's basically a blurb for Fox Studios. There's also a drawing of a fox, a small picture of Fox guys, and the studio logo.
RECORD LABELS/TRACK LISTINGSDweet wants everyone to know that there's no Side 1 - just 2 and 3. What a cutup that guy is!
"Louie Coletti", as I recall, was sung by Phil while wearing two sides-of-his-head face masks - one male, one female. When he sang the "Freddy" part, he'd turn to that side and "Betty" faced you on her parts. "Louie" faced you straight-on.
So here's Phil and his alternating bass and falsetto voices right from the album (Audio only):
