Trivia
- This show was the first to feature Shalisa Sloan as the voice of Mitzi. She was only 11-years-old when she got the part.
- This show was also the first to feature Rick Bailey as a lead vocalist, although not as Beach Bear, but as the Moon in "Golden Slumbers". Previously, he had done instrumental work and back-up vocals for the band, but this is his first time singing lead. He would end up replacing Aaron Fechter as the voice of Beach Bear in the following showtape, RAE Christmas '82.
- This is Aaron Fechter's final show recording any new vocals for Beach Bear. Anytime his Beach Bear voice is heard following this tape, it's through reused segments.
- "Louisiana" is an original song by the voice of Fatz, Burt 'Sal' Wilson.
- "Child of the" Rock is an original song by the voice of Dook, Duke Chauppetta.
- "Goofy Gas" is an original song by the voice of Uncle Klunk, Jeff 'Claude' Howell
- All of the segments from this showtape would go on to be reused in future compilation tapes.
- At the time of it's release, the Abbey Road Medley was the longest individual segment on a Rock-afire showtape, clocking in at 14-minutes. This title has since been taken by longer tracks, however.
