This isn't just a Flac Upgrade The MP3 was VBR So t's An Upgrade There Too!

The first thing I want to say about this great sounding set, is that not one performance took place at the California Jam no matter what the title might suggest. That being said, EVERY PERFORMANCE is Soundboard/FM quality, leading me to believe it's a compilation of radio shows. The Who tracks come from one of their King Biscuit Flower Hour appearances. I was told but can't confirm that the Mott The Hoople tracks are from a King Biscuit Flower Hour show. I highly recommend this 3CD set, I mean look at the artist and track list, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Robin Trower, Leslie West, Peter Townsend, et al one thing the title was correct about is the Guitar Factor!

justdave's notes:
When I downloaded this recording from The Traders Den the original uploader encouraged someone to re-track the waves. I trimmed off 1 minute of silence at the end of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)". I then cut the beginning of the "Drum Solo" off of the end of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and placed it in it's proper spot. I also had to do this with "Crossroads", & "Mississippi Queen". I also reduced the volume of Leslie Wests comments because they were much louder than the music. I then added a fade in/out on the first and last tracks. No EQ or noise reduction was used, nor was there any remixing done.

Thank you Leslie Mountain for posting the original recording at The Traders Den.

Leslie West went into cardiac arrest on December 21, 2020. He passed away December 23, 2020, Leslie was age 75.

Digitized from the original radio broadcast CD

This fine Pre-FM recording comes from Mountain's reunion tour after breaking up in 1972. Mountain would break up again after playing the Felt Forum in New York City on December 30, 1974, just one day later. This would be Felix Pappalardi's second to last gig with the band. Felix would be shot and killed by his wife Gail on April 17, 1983.
