When I clicked on the link, I got a choice of High Quality or Standard Quality. Both sound the same to me.

Sounds a bit like the contralto solo voice in M-tron
as well.

I had to start up my M-Tron to see which sound that is. Ch_Voices?
That would be the Chamberlin solo female voice, I believe. Also
available on the Pinder CD, but doesn't have the range of the M-Tron
version.

Yes Ch-voices wasn't sure where it had come from.

I think that it was Jimmy Web who wrote that lyric. Harris just recorded a version of the song. Waylon Jennings did it better.

Those were the good olde days of nonsensical lyrics. They always
seemed to make sense on acid.

But I have some glue,
Help me inhale
And mend it with you.
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds,
Then we'll come down
And I have a hangover."

Jimmy Webb also wrote “The Highwaymen” which Waylon and a couple of other guys recorded.

 
Yes, It was Waylon, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash. Great song, great record.
 
>>Though best known for the instant classics he provided for such artists as Glen Campbell (“By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” “Where’s The Playground, Susie”), Richard Harris (“MacArthur Park,” “Didn’t We”), the Fifth Dimension (“Up, Up and Away,” “This Is Your Life”), The Brooklyn Bridge (“Worst That Could Happen”), Art Garfunkel (“All I Know”), Linda Ronstadt (“Easy For You To Say”), Joe Cocker (“The Moon’s A Harsh Mistress”) and so on, Jimmy Webb continues to write songs that are as carefully crafted and magical as the earlier ones. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson hit #1 in the late eighties with another Webb standard, “The Highwayman,” a ballad which won him yet another Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year.<<
