The source tape for this CD is an American college radio broadcast, many generations from the master. This distance gives it a dull sound and prominent hiss, but it is stereo and the original was a professional mix, making it fairly listenable (with, of course, the exeption of "Don't Make Waves," which features vocals WAY out front and embarassingly bad). At one point between songs, Robin mentions "a bootleg album of ours called 'Live at the Cardiff Room, Lybia'." The scantily-marked inserts and disc are rumored to have been produced in Japan, but that may only be a major distribution point. There is no indication of date or origin anywhere on the product.

This recording has been released more recently by Highland Records (Japan) as "Phil's Masques" and possibly also by another label. The source for "Phil's Masques" is of noticeably inferior quality.
