It's, uhm, confusing. She was living as a she at the time. The first pressing of Switched on Bach didn't even have a name on it. She had to fight just to get W??? Carlos on the second pressing.

I certainly was confused because, in 2000, my college textbooks said "Walter Carlos" but the record store had CDs by "Wendy Carlos." I didn't figure it out until I Googled "Walter Carlos."
