In November 1977, after completing a 6 month world tour, Rory Gallagher and his band flew straight from their last show in Japan to San Francisco to begin working on a new album. The sessions grew tense however, as Gallagher wasn't happy with the mixing process, describing them as 'too complicated', and by the end of January 1978 he shelved the whole record and broke up his band of the past 5 years. Rory said in 1992 he hoped the album would surface one day but only if it were remixed. This has recently been done by Daniel Gallagher, Rory's nephew.Apart from the studio album, this release comes with another fabulous discovery, a blistering live album taken from four nights at The Old Waldorf, San Francisco December 1979.On stage Rory Gallagher (guitar/vocals), Gerry McAvoy (bass) and Ted McKenna (drums).And to top it off, the first 1000 copies of this Holy Grail for Rory Gallagher fans include a 36-page booklet and a download coupon that gives access to "The Osaka Jam Sessions" as well as some extra studio tracks from the 'Notes' sessions !• Deluxe 3LP Edition in Gatefold sleeve• 180 grams audiophile vinyl • First 1000 copies include a 36-page booklet and download coupon for bonus material (incl.
