Four numbers from a gig in 1966 that was broadcasted live via radio station KSAN from the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco. (These can also be found officially on Grow Fins Vol 1 or the CD set. Other tracks from the session may also be in circulation, such as "Blues Jam" on the "Railroadism" CD).

The band is credited as "CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and his MAGIC BAND", which is the truest written form and identity for the band in this period. Alexis Clair Snouffer, aka Alex St. Clair, was also the instigator & leader of the band in '66. 

The label drawing is of Beefheart under a Joshua tree playing a mouth harp, complete with shuttlecock hat and a crow perched on his boot - suggesting this release is at least post 1970 (TMR), or even post '82 (ICFC). The band credited on the label, "The Soots", were of the given '60s period and relate to Vliet & Zappa, but have no bearing on these works - other than perhaps a sales gimmick. (The Soots can be found on Zappa works).
