I got this around late 2003 or so, from a great trader friend I can seem to find online now. He only had a standalone burner, so lineage was his note of "taken from the master reel!" Looking online, I see one person who says "1st gen" Either way, this does sound very nice indeed! There wasn't any more information to offer. Yet with this info, I then had to believe it was in a lossless format before by someone. My friend didn't torrent, only snail mails. Searching db.etree.org hasn't shown anything to help either. My surprise also that db.etree also showed only 4 "owners", and all of them had it in "CDR" format. So, yep yep, this must still be a fairly rare gem! Hence, I probably did a little tattoo of re-lossless dip. Yet, there are no errors, and I truely think some item such as this are so rare and so good you don't want them to disappear...

"Concert was cut short because the organ player broke his finger during the set."

If you have any other known recordings of Mother Earth (besides Ludlow's Garage '70),
feel free to drop me a line or share it with the world!

As always, enjoy!
