Contents
The album's liner notes give conflicting dates for the sessions. The prose section lists the dates as above, while a secondary listing dates tracks 1-3 as 28 April 1970, places track 6 in the same session as tracks 4-5, and provides the unlikely date of 27 January 1971 (just three weeks after the previous session) for tracks 7 and 8.
The album was released in 1995.
The songs "Thinking On The Floor" and "Stark Naked" were never recorded in the studio, while the lyrics for "Young Mother In Style" are different from those of the song "Young Mother" on their Second Album.

Allmusic said the album was "typical of BBC rock compilations, with alternate live radio versions that serious fans will find highly enjoyable, though more casual admirers will find the material unnecessary." They noted the solid sound quality and lightly praised the band's blending of classical, rock, and folk.
