This AotW entry begins the CTI 9000 series. However, we had to "borrow" an upcoming CTI AotW feature for CTI 7087, which was a catalog number apparently used in Japan only.

It was a bit of a surprise to hear "Lotus Blossom" on this record; I recognize this song from Michael Franks' One Bad Habit album. (It was composed by Don Grolnick.)
