Source: unknown sbd or a matrix *

Notes:
- "Down At The Bottom" has a few seconds missing.
- "You Can't Hurt Me No More" had a small cut so I have spliced the two parts together. Very liitle appears to be missing.
- "Bad Luck Baby" has minor problem around 2:19
- My copy had two or three curious little gaps at the end of some tracks, which I closed up and then smoothed out the transitions.
- I also removed a few clicks and adjusted the levels.

Comments:
- I've seen this referred to as both a soundboard and a matrix, I'm pretty sure that it's the latter because of the presence of room ambience. This is a very crispy recording. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if this had been recorded for a live album, it's that good. *

"Anna" has got inside my head and gets me in a spin, just the same way that "Althea" does

Those tracks are taken from a two hours tapes we recorded....we used two little marshall 1 watt amplifiers with gibson and carvin guitars.......sorry folks if you have to support me singing and playing with John, but i decided to share this to demonstrate how John could be amazing with just a guitar in his hands and me backing...this is one of my best memories i have with John, and then, you know, playing with the man is one of the higlights of my unprofessional carrer as a player and singer (another one was when i played with my band at the local atlantic 40 years anniversary). Last thing is the situation in the house that night..... John and myself were playing pretty drunk and smoked, Greg Douglass was watching, Mark Neilsen (Kingfish drummer) was sleeping on the couch, Novato Frank doin'....you can imagine, and a bunch of girls were hangin' around in the house, pretty devasteted......And i almost forgot, in those 2 night i had the chance to play the guitar that Link Wray gave to John as a gift....
