This album is comprised of excerpts from two live concerts recorded in 1962-63 and six never before released bonus tracks recorded in 1961 at the band's appearance at Carnegie Hall. This reissue offers a rare glimpse of the Country Gentlemen as they appeared on stage at the peak of their creativity. 61 minutes. 32-page booklet with extensive notes.
