And as it turns out, he allegedly stole some of the material on that
album anyway; at least one of the tracks was created for him by Paul
Beaver of Beaver and Krause, ostensibly to help him learn to use the
Moog he'd bought, and he just put it on the album without paying the
composer or crediting him beyond a quick thank-you for his "help" in
the liner notes.
Paul Beaver's autobiography, a great read for many reasons, details this event.
