CREDITS
This recording is a re-release of an original Direct-To-Disc recording that was made in 1976 at the Soundstage and JAMF studios in Toronto. It is made from the high-technology tape master produced at the same time as the performance was recorded directly onto a master laquer. It is released from the tape because the original Direct-To-Disc metal is no longer available.
This recording is still a live performance in every exciting meaning of the word. The artists performed each side of the entire original album completely as they would play in a live concert, with the performance continuing uninterrupted as the master laquer was cut – an enormous challenge for the performers. NO EDITING, FIXING OR CHANGING OF THE PERFORMANCE WAS DONE.
The reason for using the Direct-To-Disc process on this recording was to improve the purity of the audio signal by eliminating all the analog tape stages. This was the state-of-the-art in recording technique in 1976, just before the advent of digital recording.
