From a reviewer:
“The fidelity of this boot is exceptional, excepting the live tracks, which are still quite acceptable. Detailed liner notes on the back cover explain the source of each track presented. For the B.S. fan, this stuff is pretty essential, available nowhere else. Grades – 2 A-‘s, 3 B+’s, 4 B’s, 3 B-‘s, a C+, and a C.”
