The Necromancer series reissues rare titles from a handmade label by collectors for collectors, which was only distributed to a very limited number of people, using officially acquired, legitimate masters. Introducing the "Locked Room" label, specializing in rock and pop music.

This is a must-have item for fans, coupling Roy Buchanan's 1971 soundboard live recording with a documentary film. While the audio has some hiss noise, it's quite good considering the era. The video is a documentary, including interviews and other footage, but it features many performance scenes, making it a must-see for guitarists who want to see his guitar technique. It includes many rare scenes of him playing backing guitar in his younger days. In all of these, his trademark Telecaster sound is prominent, further enhanced by his sharp pinch harmonics.
