Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

1, 2, 3, 5 were recorded live at High Chaparral, Chicago
4 was found on the original master tapes for "THE AWAKENING" album
6 taken from Scarab Records 45rpm / B side: "Freedom Road"
5 - Derf Reklaw Raheem and Black Herman does not appear in this version of "Drum Suite". While still an incredible find, The Pharaohs would like you to know that this was just a dry run with the tape rolling. We have chosen to include it here for documentary purposes only.
