Hazlewood had produced all of Nancy’s Reprise albums to that point (including the soundtrack to her television special Movin’ with Nancy, not yet a part of the Archival Series) but with his departure, arranger-guitarist Strange would move up into the producer’s chair. Billy also appeared on Nancy as co-writer of “Memories.”
