Looks good to me. I wonder if the “demos” are from the BBC recordings.

. . . and there's more in the pipeline:

somewhere i read that this release would comprise only previously unreleased material - hmmm . . . well, as long as i can't have a listen to it, i'll be cautious.

Aside from the fact that it's one of Peter's superb, haunting compositions, I wonder why the decision to title the set that way?

Probably because most people perceive the start of the band as the 1975 eponymous record, this is before what people see as the beginning. They don't actually know the brilliance that came beforehand or, mostly, they just don't care because it's not what was fed to them through the radio waves.

. . . obviously the 1968 and 1970 concerts are carousel ballroom and n.o. warehouse respectively. all this and further interesting discussion can be read here: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threa...ssions.826586/

does anybody know more about the actual release date of this set? according to some sources it's june 7th, whereas amazon states that it won't be out before october 18th.

Some people have been speculating this set is the ‘68 Carousel Ballroom and one of the 1970 shows at the Warehouse in New Orleans. Plus, four BBC tracks. Although, there are a lot of mislabeled tracks in that original press release. So maybe they’re getting everything organized with some quality control for an October release.

Homework throws me off. Some are speculating that song and two others are from that French TV show.
