Released in 1972, as taped of a somewhat gritty FM radio broadcast taped at NYC’s Felt Forum on 5 December, 1971 (one of four nights at this venue) with NROTPS supporting the Grateful Dead.
Side A, track 2 is incorrectly titled. I don’t know the correct name but here is a link to listen to the full broadcast: https://archive.org/details/nrps1971-12-05.shnf

Also exists with printed red “Laurie” labels, probably a nod to the 1950’s US record label (I don’t have a good image of this).
Above, more incorrect track names, I guess the good folks at WCF weren’t hardcore Dead Heads.
The correct track list is:
A1 Brown Eyed Women
A2 Muddy Water
A3 Jack Straw
A4 Tennessee Jed
B1 Mr. Charlie
B2 El Paso
B3 Comes A Time
B4 One More Saturday Night
B5 Mexicali Blues
Strangely, HOT WACKS used to list this title under “CBMJ”. I have never seen a CBM copy of this title, in fact I know of only two GD titles on CBM: high time in old town (CBM 1020) and a Shalom labeled copy of the Mammary/TMOQ LP recorded LIVE in concert
Matrix: 101 A / B (shared with the Beatles – LAST LIVE SHOW release)

Finally, it was reissued as a picture disc by the same outfit that produced the Beatles Sweet Apple Trax volumes as picture discs, ca. 1979 (matrix: 101 A/B):
