Supposedly, the one and only surviving test pressing was discovered in
1997 a cupboard in South Austin, Texas where it had lain for the 19 years.
All other recordings of the project had been destroyed after alleged contractual
disputes arose. These recordings, notable for their raw energy and
rare slide guitar work are essential for all SRV collectors. The bootleg
features four early arrangements of songs that later appeared on the Texas
Flood album. Due to the brevity of the Nashville '78 session the bootlegers
have added a live soundboard recording featuring Lou Ann Barton and three
tracks featuring Johnny Reno on saxophone."
Notes: The above paragraph is the supposed story behind this recording
as told on the cd inlay. The real story is that the band didn't like
the way the album turned out and paid a large sum of money to keep it from
being released. As you would expect, someone got their hands on a copy
and bootlegged it.
