Trivia
- Mazzy Star made their last appearance at Jansch's 60th Birthday party, when Sandoval and Roback joined Jansch, his son Adam, and O'Ciosoig to play three songs featuring Sandoval on vocals including her solo track "Suzanne".
- David writes almost all of the music to Mazzy Star and he has also produced all their recordings.
Reviews
- Mazzy Star has a distorted guitar work and meaningless lyrics. Both of their albums are more likely the same. However, Mazzy Star has a feel of vintage psychedelia. -Mimi 01:30, 30 August 2007 (PST)
