Previously the fourth disc in this set from 1990; it was the reason that many people (or maybe just me) justified the purchase of this nonessential set.

That's good news, thx.  I have had that set for decades, and did not put together this new release was from that.

It is not a set that I listened to much in that it is a narrated radio style program...except for that last disc.

Same here.

Hey there.  It seems that one track from that show, Foxy Lady, was left off of the previous box set, and some of the performances are edited.  This show comes from a multi-track recording of some sort, so the promise of Improved Sound is the selling point.

Pre-ordered, thx Jim!

Already Pre-Ordered! I never got that box set, but I still have an early double LP bootleg of that show. Haven't heard it in years, but I remember that the performance was really good.
