"This is the FM broadcast Cowtown show that was also booted as 'Crazy Little Things'. However it does also

include a version of 'Sam with the showing scalp...'  from a May 1975 Bongo Fury tour and a great 'Grow Fins'

 from an unknown venue in 1977. Both 'Sam' and 'Fins' sound as if they were dubbed from vinyl - 'Sam' could 

well be from the Los Botas Graciosas Marchan Polonia boot."
