           Sup  The clarity of sound is incredible    -UNKNOWN

Comments:  If you can find it, get it. This has to be some of the
           best live stuff I've ever heard. It also has some cool
           photos inside.                        -UNKNOWN

           It seems to me that the RoIO-makers are stealing from
           themselves. Tracks 1 to 8 from disc 1 are _exactly_
           the same as on "Embryo" (from TSP) and tracks
           9 to 12 from disc 1 and track 1 of disc 2 are from
           "Libest Spacement Monitor". I can hear absolute no
           difference. Only tracks 2 to 4 from disc 2 seem to be
           from another source. These also differ in quality from
           the rest: There are better versions around (e.g. "One
           of these Days"). The sound from the "Libest Spacement
           Monitor"-tracks is indeed breathtaking good.   -HERWIG

           Disc 1 tracks 1 - 8 are BBC Top Gear recordings. Quality 
           is VG+ not Sup, lots of vinyl crackle.

           Disc 1 tracks 9 - 12 and Disc 2 track 1 are BBC In Concert
           from 16th July 1970. Excellent quality although there is
           dropout during "Careful" (xref with LSM)

           Disc 2 tracks 2 - 4 are BBC In Concert from 30th Sept. 1971.
           Most likely source is "Eclipsed" vinyl ROIO. Not de-clicked,
           lots of crackle. Better of with "One of these days" as
           mentioned above. 

           If you don't have any BBC recordings it's a good place to
           start.              -TUZZ
