DESCRIPTION:
Vicki Lawrence - "The Light on the Back Porch Door" - Track 10 from Stateside Records' 1974 LP "Ships in the Night." LP. Most of this song was recorded during the "Georgia" sessions, but the unfinished song was shelved and abandoned before it was mastered for the "Georgia" LP. When contemplating material for the "Ships in the Night" album, the tape of this song was pulled from the vault and given another listen. New string and horn arrangements were written, and harpsichord was added. The changes were meant to make the song conform to the "groove" of the "Ships in the Night" LP.

This song also served as Side-B to "Old Home Movies" (a song deleted from the "Ships" album and later issued as a single in the UK only by EMI International UK Records in September '74).
