A pretty obscure live recording. Excellent line-up. A very 70-ish sound and feel. Thank you, porter_esq!

Whoa, just stumbled upon your awesome blog! This is my first download here and I can hardly wait to hear this line up with Duke on keys! Look forward to checking out the jazz and Zappa titles, thank you so much. :-)
By the way just curious, what is the gear you use to transfer these LPs to digital files?
