Around the time this was recorded, Sanders could easily venture off into free form territory or he could hold the course with more spiritual sounding stuff that was no less interesting. I love the way this gently slides between both.
Sanders assembled an odd and definitely smoking line up for this outing. From what I have read, this was not actually recorded at the East, but the audience was brought to the studio albeit still for a live recording
Most certainly this is a copy I got from someone's fine blog at one time, because my vinyl is not this clean and the second track is split on the lp. So I debt of gratitude is owed to whoever was kind enough to put an immaculate copy out there.

A tasty one. Thanks, Mr. Finger.
I can't wait to listen to this-I never new it existed! What a line-up! What a blog!
Actually Impulse Records, not Prestige.
Absolutely! But fortunately nobody pays any attention to this thing and obvious screw ups can go unnoticed...mostly!
