Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollina’s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollina’s personal tapes, was given the approval of John’s sister, Antonia, to share John’s live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations.  Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with John’s fans and collectors.

Charlie Kaiser has given us access to his soundboard masters.  He was the Front Of House soundman and recording engineer for virtually all of John's bands from about 1983 until his passing. This included Thunder and Lightning, Dinosaurs, Terry and The Pirates, Problem Child, and any of the spinoff bands.

Comments:

- This show was recorded for release,  some tracks were on the album "Maximum Darkness". Those tracks are the only ones that have been available for this show until now. This is a recording of the whole show and admittedly it's a little raggedy round the edges, mainly due to the poor acoustics of The Roundhouse, but it is well worth a listen.

Notes:

- The discs were burned TAO leaving small gaps, which have now been close up.
- A number of small dropouts have been repaired.
