Notes:
Although it is a Soundboard, this recording is not very good, it is probably transferred from tapes not in very good condition, then presents the fluctuations of the sound. 
I had to adjust the speed in almost all audio which was much slower, I ordered the two songs (The Promised Land and Prove It All Night), which for reasons of space in the various sides of the vinyls were not in the exact order.
I edited some songs mixing the sound to eliminate the gap between them, I left both songs, both the original ones, that the ones edited, to maintain the integrity of vinyls and have the constant sound in the CDs.


from Brucebase:
Soundboard recording. Released on CD 'Oh Boy' (BS) and more recently in a remastered version sourced from the master tapes (according to the cover art) with the same name from E. St. Records. Set includes the third and last known version of "Oh Boy" and the premiere of "Sherry Darling" with some of the early lyrics found in the Darkness outtakes of the song. "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" includes a snippet of "Macho Man" after Clarence's introduction.


from Brucelegs:
Box set, colour cover, custom purple labels.
Whole show, with some songs rearranged in order. I don't know if the quality is good or not, but the setlist and the show choice make this record a good one anyway. This box was undervalued at the time of its printing and is now pretty hard to find in a good shape.
Repressed with differnet labels and matrix (see entry for details) 
There is a repress with alternate type of label (see photo) in three different colours. And different matrix. These came later, since the others (Bruce record co.) have the same reference used on the box and seem more pertinent.



Thanks to SITGES for these vinyls.




Hope you Enjoy
