Mid Valley continue their line of good sounding but atrociously packaged releases with Night Of The Hurricane 1975. This is a four disc edit of the soundboard and audience recordings of the Rubin “Hurricane” Carter Benefit in New York on December 8th, 1975. Idol Mind did the exact same thing several months ago, so there is nothing new with this title except the price.
