From Kritzerland's website: We’re thrilled to finally issue [The Sap of Life] on CD in its first legitimate release. There are new liner notes by Richard Maltby, Jr. and there are rare photographs and memorabilia in the booklet. And as a special bonus, also included is David Shire’s fantastic Sonata for Cocktail Piano, played by Shire when it was written. That, too, is a premiere release.
