Notes About This Song

• Recorded at TTG, Los Angeles in November 1966.

• This version of the song is a suite with three parts: "Call Any Vegetable", "Invocation & Ritual Dance Of The Young Pumpkin" and "Soft-Sell Conclusion". On Mothermania, the whole suite is combined to one single track under the title "Call Any Vegetable".

• The title is a pun on the titles of sections of Stravinsky's ballet The Rite Of Spring - Summoning Of The Ancients, Ritual Of The Ancients, and Sacrificial Dance (The Chosen One)

• The opening 26 seconds is a quote from "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" from The Planets Suite (Gustav Holst)
