Quality:   EX+/VG- -GREEN MAN

Comments:  The quality of set the Controls, Saucer and Instellar is a 
           bit less than the rest of the package.

           This is the same stuff as on the Smoking Blues roio however 
           its not a direct copy I believe. Firstly AD has a few extra 
           seconds of introduction on this version and also the sound is 
           different. There is more hiss on this release however it is 
           not very much and only audible in the very quite sections. 
           However Montreux Casino sounds clearer and brighter than 
           Smoking Blues which leads me to believe that Smoking Blues 
           was dehissed which often results in a loss in high end. Also 
           on this release we get an audience source from the same two 
           shows and well as some BBC tracks the aud source is pretty 
           poor but still interesting. So I'd say that this release is 
           better than Smoking Blues and although the extra tracks are 
           not up to much there better than nothing at all which is what 
           you get on Smoking Blues plus the packaging is one of the 
           best I've ever seen on a roio.
