Tracks 10-19 are supposedly "the 1979 Knebworth concert." The sound quality is horrible; mono w/o lows or highs; similar to the soundtrack to a multi-gen video. Possible Brian Wilson performance here as you hear several references to "Brian" (including them singing "Happy Birthday" to Brian during the soundcheck).
Final third of the CD are tracks off the CW-produced "The Flame" LP feat. Blondie Chaplin & Ricky Fataar and are of very little interest. Reproduction of a dusty phono stylus & crackling noises is flawless. The bootleggers didn't even go to the trouble of eliminating the 3-second gaps between tracks so you get the complete vinyl experience. Blah! If you're interested in this, search out a copy at a used record store for a dollar.
Artwork: Lame. Slightly blurry "Pet Sounds" pictures that are totally unrelated to this period in Beach Boys history. Says "The Flame" was never on CD. One quick listen and you'll know why. It sucks.
Giving credit when due: this CD only set me back thirteen dollars; it's a silver CD NOT a CDR; and the disc length is nearly 78m.
