From the EP Sleeve notes:
"Everyone was there.
The place; The Mojo Club, Sheffield.

The date; June 29th, 1967.

The occasion; the live recording of Rag Record '67.
The result? Eighteen whole minutes of action-packed music played in an electric atmosphere, and featuring no less than four top groups from the area.

Pete Stringfellow introduces the boys to the stomping, cheering, hand-clapping audience, and just how much sweat was lost during this fantastic recording is a matter of conjecture. What is certain is that to relive the experience requires only the playing of this disc. It's all here - as it happened."

"All proceeds to Charities supported by Sheffield Students' Rag"
