Transfer/Editing Notes:
This was from a really good source and hadn't deteriorated too much. Remastering this recording, for the most part, was pretty easy to do. The low end in the original transfer is a little too high and the recording is a bit dull sounding. Therefore, in an attempt to reverse the process of the tape transfer sound deterioration, I boosted a few higher frequenices where necessary and cut a few low frequencies that were cuasing the dull sounding boomy effect. Due to the Eq effects, a higher amount of hiss is apparent in the recording. For the most part, it isn't that distracting, for other people, the original version may be better without the hiss. This edit, as with all the recordings I've remastered, is simply an alternative to the source and isn't regarded as a replacement for the source recording. To those who enjoy this and/or any other job I've done, enjoy!

Classic Free Heartbreaker lineup- Koss on guitar for this- fortunately!!
This is straight from the master tape- cassette to CDR
A great performance given how screwed up Koss was at the time. Many of the 1972 dates he did not play on.
The recording is solid here. This was released as a boot CD "Revenge of the Heartbreaker", but appears to have dropouts
and is missing the end of the last song. It is my belief that this is the first time the full tape has been available.
