The recording is from the Tommy Stevenson collection. Special thanks to his son, Thomas, for locating the surviving masters and loaning them out for transfer. Transferred by Richard Russell, July 2026.

No noise reduction was applied to this recording.

This recording was spread over two tapes. The first included the end of Burning Spear's opening set, and the second tape included the beginning of the Killer Bees' performance later that evening.
