Notes: This is almost most certainly a commercial release, Taj Mahal - "The Real Thing", 1972 Columbia/Legacy 65859. It is pretty easy to find (I bought it in Taiwan, The Republic of China!). Check out Taj's Official Web site at www.taj-mo-roots.com for more details. I'm sorry but I will not trade this show until I can confirm it is not a commercial release. If you are interested in this show do yourself a favor and get a copy of "The Real Thing". Taj at his best, and the original cover art is wild! Thanks John
