"A WARNING TO AUDIOPHILES: These recordings were made in 1972 - 1973 under less than professional conditions, the fact that they sound as good as they do can be credited to the sweet-talking of JVC Digital Mastering Center's Rick Goldman, and the ear-brain dexterity of JVC engineer, John Acoca. Thanks Guys."
