Asked by Philips to write a liner note for Mrs. Brown's record, Sir Donald bluntly declared that the composers are real: "It is the implications relevant to this phenomenon that we hope will stimulate sensible and sensitive interest and stir many who are intelligent and impartial to consider and explore the unknown of man's mind and psyche." Sir Donald dictated his liner notes to Rosemary Brown on January 1, 1970; he died...
