All audio -- over 12 hours (!) -- has carefully been cleaned-up from tape noise and rumble and has undergone thorough restoration. This is the ultimate treasure chest, for the faithful Gentle Giant fan, and will give the new listener a chance to discover one of the worlds most competent bands and their creative minds!
