Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a track list for this thing. They did play
improvs and weird things like Gustav Holst's Mars, so hopefully it's
not four live versions of In the Court of the Crimson King. :-)

Do you mean the Great Deceiver? I thought the sound quality was great
(though the editing is a bit weird in spots). My understanding is that
the first two CDs have very good sound quality. The latter two are a bit
more rough (which is why they're available by mail order only).
