From TwoMonks' notes:
At the start of this tape McCoy Tyner announces that the preceding title was "Just Feelin'", and the musicians and next title. "Just Feelin'" was not included on this tape. "Rhythm-a-ning"" had another recording inserted into it somehow from 40:39 & 41:27, during the saxophone solo. Once this was edited out, the saxophone continues with a minor blip; still, the recording ends abruptly, leaving the piece incomplete. "Ballad for Aisha" is missing the beginning. "Motherland" finishes abruptly with the end of the tape.
