Scorpio’s 4-CD “Synergy” probably sounds considerably better than the “Waltham ’68″ 2-CD by the Killing Floor label, which covers all of the Waltham 1967-09-09 show plus bonus tracks ‘Spoonful’ & ‘Sleepy Time Time’ from the Boston ’68 show. Additionally, Scorpio’s artwork is most likely quite superior to that of the Killing Floor 2-CD, which certainly could have chosen to use a much better-looking young woman to picture on its front cover – or maybe she just isn’t my type at all.

Given that the total playing times of the discs are approx. 37:14, 48:13, 45:56, & 37:20, respectively, Scorpio could have made this just a 3-CD instead of a 4-CD. But overall, I’m considerably impressed by the sound quality & enjoyable band performance – esp. both lengthy versions of “Sunshine of Your Lust”. Then again, however, almost anything sounds better than being forced to listen to that snarky, allegedly “smells-like-shrimp-in-a-diaper” singer known as Ke$ha (Sebert).
