Comments:
The one thing that jumps out to us is how Hensley sounds so much like a bittersweet "Byron" at points. His intro to Lady In Black (listen to the sound file) does not sound like a happy camper. He dedicates this track to Elvis Presley as well. We have no inside information but only can judge by the recording itself. Lawton makes comments on other tracks, but not to the point where we can make a note of them because nothing stands out as out of the ordinary.
Our copy of this recording cuts short with only the intro to Sympathy but we have a full length update located and coming.
