Mentioned in Erik van den Berg - De Wereld als Trommel, p. 154 (biography about Bennink).

Bennink confirmed this during a radio interview in April 2008: He used his UHER equipment for this, so indeed he did all the recording himself.

Bennink received the tape with the recording of the Brazilian jungle from Dutch composer Peter Schat. The tape was also used for the Opera "Reconstructie" (Reconstruction, in which Peter Schat was one of the co-composers) (source: "De Wereld als Trommel" (p. 135).

1974 release copies have little objects (feathers, Dutch flags, paper with pencil marks etc.) glued to the front by Bennink and are signed by Bennink on the back - dated '74. Re-issue signed on back with 1978.
