This is 3 albums in one - The 2nd CD has 2 very hard to find albums - BRUJO & OH, What a mighty time (REMASTERED) - both from the Early 1970's. Then the first cd is a great Live show. Very sweet music from that OLD & IN THE WAY era etc. NRPS is a collection of Musicians from Jefferson airplane, Grateful Dead, and other San Francisco Bands that Boldly made their own style of music successfully in a time of great Rock n Roll. All the Very Early 1970's albums are the best place to start with NRPS. after that the music is still good, but there are a few albums from the late 70's, 80's & 90's that have issues with one of several here: sound on live ones, composing became weak in later years, & RELIX releases are the ones to be careful about what you are actually buying - Some(not all) RELIX NRPS releases are of poor output for one reason or another - I blame RELIX in most cases - ANYWAY - if you look for the pre 1975 albums (2 are in this set) you will get an excellent taste of what NRPS is capable of!

I just received Cactus Juice and it is a great CD that actually contains 3 albums. "Brujo" & "Oh What A Mighty Time" are on one CD. The live bonus disc is the entire "Home, Home on the Road" album as well as 4 additional songs (Down in the Boondocks, The Weight, Superman and Henry version 2). I was very please with this CD and it was a real bargain. pk
