Could you list the title tracks to his Alive and Well album?

"Raven in a Cage," "You Talk Too Much," "Last Date" (instrumental), "Little Bitty Pretty One," "Alive and Well in Argentina," "Brown to Blue," "Priscilla Millionaira," "I Almost Lost My Mind," "Hip Toad," "Lt. Schtinkckhausen" (instrumental).

A 1971 reissue of the 1968 album added the single, "As Long as You're Here" (A-side only). According to this reissue's liner notes, "As Long as You're Here" was the first single ever issued by the Buddah label.

"Alive and Well" was recorded in the U.S., not Canada, before Yanovsky moved back to his native country. Interestingly, this was one of several albums that Yanovsky and his Lovin' Spoonful replacement, Jerry Yester, co-produced together around 1968-69. Others included Pat Boone's "Departure" and Tim Buckley's "Happy Sad."

Yanovsky joined the other three original Lovin' Spoonful members in 2000 for the group's induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of fame. The four performed "Do You Belive in Magic" during the televised portion of the ceremony.
