Two included newspaper articles describe Watt's Big Band aspirations during a gap in the Rolling Stones' tours. This recording is from a low generation cassette. No Dolby is noted, but the tape hiss between songs doesn't stand a chance next when the 32-piece big band (including 7 trumpets, 10 saxophones and 3 drummers) gets rolling.

The setlist is probably incomplete, based on other setlsts. The beginning of See You, See Me is lost to a tape flip, and there is a patch in Stomping At the Savoy that is audible.

Fun stuff. Enjoy!
