The original source tape is damaged. We have chosen to keep track 6 & 7 on this release for historical reasons in spite of the damage. However 'Hound Dog', performed between 'Hurt' and 'Unchained Melody' was beyond any element of repair and has consequently been left out.

New Deletion

Please be advised that So High - FTD 31 is being deleted when stocks are depleted! Orders will be taken on a first come first serve basis!
