In addition to the complete audience recording for this show, Empress Valley released the classic vinyl LP No Quarter. The original tapes perished in a fire, along with a lot of the vinyl copies, when the garage lock-up where they were stored burnt down. However Empress Valley have tracked down the original acetates, taken from the master tapes, and released them on 2CDs. This contains the first half of the show, as far as Bron-yr-Aur Stomp. The CDs are housed in a matt card gatefold slipcase, and the original Red Devil label vinyl cover is used on the front. The sound quality is near excellent stereo, and the snaps, crackles and pops inherent on an acetate have been digitally removed. In the booklet it is revealed that Empress Valley had originally planned to release this night only as a 6CD set, the four audience CDs plus the acetate on 2CDs. It would have been better to have released it seperately rather than include it in this box set. However it is a very important addition to the Earls Court catalogue
Liner Notes from the Cover:  In the late Seventies The Master Tapes Made The Original Vinyl Were destroyed By Fire At The Warehouse With All Stock. Fortunately, The Original Acetate For The Vinyl Did Survive! This Is Why The Master Tape Never Exists Today. We Thank You Very Much For The Great Discovery! Recording Equipments: Sony 152SD Taperecorder & Two Sony Microphones
