From the Back Cover:
Don’t mistake this album as just a 1,2,3, course in learning to make crepes; It can be a very warm human experience shared, if you are receptive.

From the Back Cover:
“This live recording, done on December 17 & 18, 1979 has captured the energy and vitality of George Foreman preaching in the streets of Houston, Texas. On these two nights in biting 25 degree weather – one night in a white neighborhood and one night in a black low income housing complex, George carried his message to the people. On the first night, as we left George’s home in a small town just outside of Houston he said to me, “I have to quit at 9:00 PM because I had a dream that the police will show up.” Low and behold [sic], at exactly 9:00 PM a group of 20 police approached and disconnected the power to the sign which lets passersby know that this is George Foreman. It was truly amazing.”

I’d like to party with Minka
Minka
“The Fabulous Minka Party Record”
Playgirl #MLP 101
I’d love to know more about Minka… Unfortunately, net searches turn up only a modern porn star. The record is from Houston, so the label can’t be related to the modern Playgirl magazine.
From the Back Cover:
“MINKA’s experiences in the field of living have been wide and varied. She has been one of the country’s foremost models and pin-ups…. An extremist in her tastes and manner of dress, MINKA often refers to her little black dresses with their extreme decollete as “uniforms.” MINKA describes herself as, “top heavy, you know”. The vital statistics being: 44 top, 24 middle, and if by this time you still need more, 36 hip.”
