In recent years, the "Mike Millard tapes" have been undergoing digitalization from direct masters or low-generation tapes. These tapes were recorded by Mike Millard, a taper well-known to fans for his exceptional audience recording skills. The same label has released several recordings using these newly digitized Mike Millard tapes as masters, but you may have noticed that there are two types: "Brushed Mike Millard Tapes" and "Legendary Mike Millard Tapes." Not all Mike Millard tapes have perfect sound quality; some have considerable room for improvement. The "Brushed" series features recordings that have been significantly edited and improved. The "Legendary" series, on the other hand, features recordings that were already near-perfect and had little room for improvement, with minimal editing such as light cuts between tracks.

This time, we feature Donovan, a singer-songwriter who, alongside Bob Dylan, has been active in folk and folk-rock. As mentioned above, this is from the "Brushed" series, which has undergone some sound quality editing. However, this editing wasn't necessary because the original recording was poor; rather, it was an upgrade of an already excellent recording that had the potential for further improvement. Therefore, this is a top-quality audience recording. It couples recordings from September 23rd and 24th, 1977, but unfortunately, both were incomplete live recordings, so they had to be combined onto one disc. Nevertheless, it is a masterpiece that allows you to fully enjoy Donovan's folk-rock period with the finest sound quality.
