Information about the recordings:
"This series has taken more than 20 years to put together. It provides a comprehensive collection of unreleased live material (absolutely no overdubs), beginning with the earliest tapes (7½ ips analog two-track), up to the most recent material from the 1988 big-band tour (48 track digital).
Great care has been taken to ensure the best audio quality, however some early selections by the original Mothers Of Invention, though not exactly "hi-fi", have been included for the amusement of those fetishists who still believe the only "good" material was performed by that particular group. (Comparison to the performances of some of the later ensembles should finally put an end to that quiant fantasy.)"
