Comments

Crystal Cat's "Winterland Night" is the source for the majority of tracks, other than The Promised Land (runs fast), Thunder Road (hiss, runs fast) and Jungleland (hiss, runs fast) which are taken from Great Dane's "Live In The Promised Land".

Remaster effects are primarily EQ and compression. The result is more of a "live" feeling, with much improved instrument balance, the drums were previously far too high in the mix. Each song was painstakingly remastered, with more than ten takes for every track.

Great broadcasted recording. Powerful, crisp, quite clear.
