About the album
The disc is praised for its funky grooves (unusual for the group) and the vivid performance of 21st Century Schizoid Man , but is heavily criticized for the poor quality of the sound recorded on the cassette by sound engineer Hunter MacDonald.
Republishing on a CD improved sound quality slightly, due to a cassette source.
