The CD reissue contains tracks not featured on the original 1971 LP
release. These include "Woman" and a more rock-based version of "Trouble
on Double Time" both of which are from Free (1969), nothing of which
was featured on the main album itself. There are also live versions of
"Walk in My Shadow" (considerably slower than the version on Tons of
Sobs) and "Moonshine", which lasts for over nine minutes. The extra
tracks also contain alternate live takes of "All Right Now" and "Mr.
Big".
The album closes with an alternative studio version of "Get Where I Belong", which is notable for Rodgers forgetting a line and having to hum a later one in order to regain his correct place.
The album (including the extra tracks) was recorded from gigs played in the UK at both The Locarno, Sunderland (January 1970) and Croydon's Fairfield Halls (September 1970), both places where Free had strong followings. Engineer Andy Johns could only use two tracks from the Sunderland gig ("The Hunter" and "All Right Now"), but used crowd noise from it frequently to create seamless links between tracks. With increased re-mastering technology available it has been possible to make others ready for the CD reissue, along with some alternate takes of tracks recorded at the second of the two Croydon sessions that were recorded. Many of the tracks on the album are from their debut Tons of Sobs (1968), as that album's rock-oriented ethos and uncomplicated production values made its material ideal for performing live.
