ALBUM REVIEW
This is indeed what many of us hoped The X Files would be. The '77 material is from Schaumberg, 11/16/77 (an FM broadcast). Sound quality is a bit muffled in the lows at times, but generally well-bablanced, very pleasant listening and certainly better than any bootlegs available from this period. The performance is of course fantastic, and the Japanese bonus track is the bulk of "Why Should...", while the part one piece (track 3) is only the brief intro of the song. Also, of minor note, the track list is a little mixed up on the insert (of the Japanese version, at least). Disc two is from The Bottom Line, New York 6/21/93. Very enjoyable treatments of old and new, with lots of extra improv work. It's great to see these X-Communication performances finally captured and done justice in a release; those of us who couldn't attend these gigs obviously really missed out (http://www.pyoing.net/brandx/)
