I got this CD set about 14-15 years ago and have included scans of the cover. This is one of the earliest CD boots that I know of and it makes for pretty good listening.

It is from this legendary concert that the (abridged) Zoot Allures version of “Black Napkins” is lifted, just like “Ship Ahoy” on Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar (and parts of “Duck Duck Goose” on Läther); the first and last parts of the drum solo appear on Stage #3, as “Hands with a Hammer”, duly credited to Bozzio – and the 1976 part of “Zoot Allures” on that album is also from Osaka.

(On Zoot Allures, the 00:00-01:14 and 02:06-07:11 parts of “Black Napkins” have been edited out. The Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar version of “Ship Ahoy” consists of 00:00-04:25 + 04:44-05:41 of the Osaka recording. “Duck Duck Goose” on Läther contains 03:13-04:07 + 04:17-04:23 + 04:44-05:41 of the Osaka recording. At 05:41, the solo is over, and the rest of the track is a band introduction and vamp.)

The Eyes of Osaka cover is a blown-up mirror image of the Apostrophe (‘) cover.

I am planning to transfer the 10 vinyl set Mystery Box soon. If there is enough demand I will seed 24 bit files in addition to the CD standard 16 bit. I do all my vinyl transfers this way so it doesn’t pose a problem for me so feedback on this one will give me a guide to how I will proceed to seed this stuff. I plan to seed each of the ten discs individually.
