Source: Original 1974 Analog Master

Most of the material in this double set was recorded Dec. 10, 11 & 12, 1973, at The Roxy, Hollywood. Other portions were extracted from road tapes (4-track 15-ips masters) of show #2, Mothers Day, 1974, at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago, and the recent gymnasium extravaganza at Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania, May 8, 1974.

Mastered by Chris Bellman directly from the original 1/4" Analog Stereo 1974 Masters, Bernie Grundman Mastering, Hollywood, 2013.

    Audiophile quality pressing. Incredible sound. The whole band is great but George Duke shines in particular.

        This must be an outstanding pressing of this album. I've only ever had the CD, and I don't know what the original LPs sound like, but this is great to my ears.

            Did anyone else get this with a copy of Apostrophe in place the first disc? I've heard of at least one other over on the Steve Hoffman Forums, so there must be a few out there. I got it replaced, and the correct disc was in that one.

              Damn that guitar solo on Penguin in Bondage!!! Zappa could outplay Hendrix in my opinion!
