Part of a 1.5 day session under the supervision of Ed Michel that produced enough material for four albums. [Personnel from album jacket; location and date from Chase]
The album (unusually for a Saturn) was reviewed in Down Beat, 41 (1), 1/17/74, by Ray Townley, who called it a "lackluster session" and said "the worst feature... is the random slicing of the long title cut" into several bands, apparently in an effort to get airplay.
