I recorded this live concert back around 1974. If I recall correctly, I started listening to the show with no intention of recording. The exact date of the performance is unknown.

However, once the music started, I thought that the music was really good and started the recorder. As a result, the first song is cut and the end of it acts as a lead-in for the first tune in this recording.

Yes, I know that makes it a partial show, but I've searched to find any other live recordings of the band IF. The only live material that my search uncovered was 3 shows in 1972 (according to db.etree.org). That fact would make this the only live material from IF covering their album, "Not Just Another Bunch of Pretty Faces".

This show was transferred from Scotch 207 reel to reel about 10 years ago. At that time, the tape was close to 25 years old. There's a bit of tape static between songs at times as well as a brief dropout in the crowd noise between tracks 3 and 4. Otherwise, the quality is excellent.

Yesterday, I listened to this for the first time in 10 years and enjoyed it so much, I decided to seed it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
