Release Notes
Liner Notes
"This concert was recorded live at Boston Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts on 24 September 1972. These stereo masters were digitally transferred from FZ's Ampex ATR 100 deck into Nuendo at 96 K 24 bit by Joe Travers using Euphonix AM 713 Converters - in April 2007. ...this concert had a slightly different original dynamic in that Big Swifty followed Greggery Peccary. Due to disc space we resequenced the program to maintain the integrity of the performance."
Cover Art "Mundo Invisible" (oil on canvas, 60" x 72") by Christopher Mark Brennan, 2003.
It derives from Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire (oil on canvas, 46.5" x 65.5") by Salvador Dali , 1940.
This might be a reference Alice Cooper's Dada concept album (Warner Bros. 7599-23969-1, 1983).
