Recorded at two of the venues that housed the legendary London underground club Middle Earth in 1967 and a third recording from elsewhere in 1968, this apparently has only recently beeen "unearthed" - elsewhere it is suggested a couple of tracks can also be found on a Blueprint Soft Machine release. Cuneiform Records continue doing their sterling work and archealogical digs of British live recordings while offering this proviso: IMPORTANT: The source tapes for this CD were recorded using semi-pro equipment under difficult conditions, at extreme volume in a concrete basement. Considering their age, their rarity, and the techinical limitations of sound reinforcement of 40 years ago, we feel that the music presented is very enjoyable, but these recordings are not anywhere near present-day standards!
