This is a variation, according to "Baba" from "Baba O'Riley's Bootleg Page" of an LP called "Who is this?" I'm guessing it's a real budget release, because the cover is a folded-out copy of Theo Vaness' "Bad Bad Boy" (Obiously the covers from this disco-one-hit-wonder were in abundant supply). While the sound is a so-so audience recording, the show itself is AWESOME with especially good versions of 'My Wife,' 'Magic Bus,' and 'Relay.' This is also my very first bootleg LP!

Another excellent show from 1971- this one has been released many times and is often known as "Live- Collectors Item" and "Live in England." Sound is okay, but the show makes up for it- excellent versions of 'Bargain' (the synth bit seems to be sung here) and 'Baby Don't you do it' (possibly a better-performed version than the officially released one- the b-side to 'Join Together.' This one is a good record to start a boot collection with- really good show, and extra-nice sleeve. The album is listed on the back as "produced" by Michael Manchester and the address for the record label is listed also:
 
Berkeley Records Ltd.
10 Berkely Street
London, W1
