https://muse-jhu-edu.libproxy.library.unt.edu/pub/103/article/450905

Although it does not explicitly mention Spanky, it has some adjacent cultural information that could prove useful to explaining the importance of Spanky’s collaboration on Dangelo’s records, since Spanky played on this track.

Haven’t had a chance to crack the cover on this one yet. However I’m optimistic based on your recommendation that it might have a page or two dedicated to personnel and their roles on the record that would be useful.[7]
