Album Review
“One of the great atypical bootlegs of the early ‘70’s from a plethora of often disparate and unaligned sources. Viewed
with hindsight, it’s easy to criticize the style of these early ‘70’s issues, but, in the situation and context of the time of their
release they were valid (and wholeheartedly enjoyed by many) so perhaps it’s wrong to over criticize from the standpoint we now
have of better quality production, tapes and organization. One thing that is for certain is that many will remain famous (if that’s
the right word) long after better, newer releases are forgotten.”  -from A Vinyl Headstone
