What I like about “Balls” is that you will never find a release like this, with 45 minute ‘Dazed”, the jam on “Over the Hills”, is that it’s just not commercial enough for general release. Cd’s like this is why I collect, along with preserving the moment as well.

I compared source one with Final Show In The Forum 1975 on Jelly Roll and found Jelly Roll to be brighter with a louder level. TCOLZ was more natural sounding where Jelly Roll was a bit harsher on the top end. This is a great release by TCOLZ and I hope they keep up the practice of releasing multiple sources in one package.

TCOLZ claims that these are RAW transfers and completely un-manipulated as far as EQ’ing and remastering are concerned. Hooray!!! It’s about time that a label gets back to what the raw tapes actually sound like. It’s always great to hear upgrades of recordings, although alot of times this has affected the sound quality in negative ways. TCOLZ has definitely done right by both fans and collectors. The packaging of this release is a carbon copy of TCOLZ’s other releases with the brown paper bag look. There is an insert included which contains some really nice color shots of the band live. I for one do not hate the look of TCOLZ’s artwork. It’s something a bit different and is nostalgic as well. I’m sure it helps to keep the overall costs of their releases down too. In the end I really enjoy this release and I will definitely be revisiting this show in the near future. Thanks TCOLZ…..

It’s nice to have both of these low gen sources on silvers and this is one of my favorite 1975 shows.
