__________________________

This was a nice suprise when released!!
Extended versions, rough mixes, unedited versions from masters and rehearsals.
Track 1 to 14 are simply outstanding.
You wonder where this versions come from, these are the masters, but complete till the end...
The sound is impressive, the versions known, but it new at te same time.

The Aloha rehearsal section is the best sounding so far at any cd release.
For once it doesn't sound so muffled als elswhere.
That's a real selling-point.

The booklet has many nice pics from the period.(a bit of info would have been nice too, since the only info can be found on the backside)

This is a GREAT cd,VENUS is marktleader when it comes to outtakes from the 70's.
Higly recommended!!

Hi Johan,

I agree, I wonder where this material comes from?

I suppose some things are better of not being known
