Dot Records to produce the album. Dot had been created as an independant company in 1950 by Randy Wood, before Paramount became its owner. In 1967 Dot has released the LP Mission : Impossible, an album that really made its mark, and they followed it with the original soundtrack from Cool Hand Luke. It was obvious to Dot that the label ought to consolidate its ties with this new world composer in the midst of his professional consecration. "Once the initial effect of surprise was over" says Schifrin, "Tom Mack at Dot encouraged me to go ahead and make this opus.

I wanted a perspective that summarized the dance rythms in fashion, the sound of the times. I analyzed the way the melodies and harmonies of those records were constructed, and also thier production. Next, i had to take a step back and sort through my ideas before taking the leap. If i remember correctly the first theme tat took shape was Life Insurance. At the time someone has suggested i take out life-insurance, after insisting heavily on its advantages for my family. I didn't understand a word of the contract...It was all a tangle of foggy clauses and contradictions. I used some of the those same clauses, chanted by a male and female choir in succession.

This was something out of the twilight zone: I had worked with songwriters and now i had a lyricist working in life insurance !
