I added it a track list - as well as the album info box. But if someone wanted to check my math as to the individual album and box set lengths, I'd appreciate. Also, I don't know who produced it, either. --MrCheshire

[edit] 69 sex position

Does this have anything to do with the 69 sex position? --Nintendude 18:06, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

In the liner notes for the three-CD set Merrit mentions that he originally intended to write one hundred songs, but stopped at sixty-nine because it was a good number, or something along those lines. If someone has the set nearby, I am sure that they could provide a direct quote with a citation. Jkelly 19:19, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

It would be too much of a coincidence if this had nothing to do with the 69 position. Add this to List of pop culture references to the 69 sex position if it is a valid item to add. --Nintendude 02:00, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

If I can recall from the booklet correctly, Merritt acknowledges the sex position, but also chose the number for its aesthetic purposes as a title. It's sort of a visual palindrome. So I'm sure the sex position was a bullet on the list why the title was chosen, but the title isn't explicity referring to the position and nothing else. Pele Merengue 11:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

So, here's the excerpt:

SD: The next lowest number that had another relevant meaning was 69, which I chose as much for its graphic possibilities as its obvious relation to romance.

DH: When you say graphic possibilities, you mean the cover of the record?

SD: It's a visual palindrome. It would make a good logo on a Broadway poster. I wasn't thinking of it as a record yet.
