| Great early performance by the Mothers in Sweden 1967 on Rhino's bootleg series. Of interest to fans but especially valuble as a look at American progressive rock in its newborn state. Featured is 'Petroushka', Tchaikovsky's 6th and an amazing version of 'King Kong'. |

One of the better of the "Beat the Boots!" series.

How's the sound quality? I hear some of the "Beat the Boots" disks are really tough to listen to.

| Well, if you have enough boot experience you start to develop an ear for it; if you factor in mediocre sound in exchange for a great or important performance the sound becomes tolerable. Of course, I cut my teeth on Zep boots which can, in certain cases, be atrocious sounding. The quality of this recording? Not great, but it's not the worst I've heard either. |

It's been awhile since I listened to it, but as I recall it isn't half bad soundwise - certainly MUCH better than "Piquantique" and "Unmitigated Audacity".
