the release date got put back and then later cancelled by CBS records.


** track 5 with Boston Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Michael Tilson Thomas
the 2nd guitar could be Carlos Santana (not confirmed) it was recorded for an
unreleased Sri Chinmoy film soundtrack (they are believed to have played the song
in a film) not confirmed which film title if it was, possible titles are "Awakening" "Rainbow" "Jharna Khala" ..... can anyone confirm it ?

(these 5 songs come from the French collector who used to tamper with the sound
so they sound a little muddy, he did this to cover his tracks I explained it all
in the info text of the Mahavishnu Orchestra - Maine 1972 seed)
