Original Ace Rimmer's notes:
"Four live session tracks by Blodwyn. I don't recall exact details, but I think they were the remaining group after Mick Abrahams left. If so, the choice of name
suggests it may not have been amicable. The titles are 'Lady of Liberty' 'Lonely Nights' 'Lovely Lady' (bit of an obsession with 'L' there), and 'Moon's Gone'."

Lineage: original BBC AM radio broadcast -> unknown mono reel-to-reel-recorder -> master off-air mono reel-to-reel tape -> unknown digital transfer method -> wave ->
flac (level 8 via TLH)

I've received tracks in MONO 16-44 wav format, converted them to flac level 8 with TLH, and created info file.

Set-list:
1. Lonely nights (8:19)
2. Lovely lady (5:05)
3. Lady of liberty (5:28)

4. Moon's gone (3:02)
