This review is from: Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival (Audio CD)

What an impressive package! And such detailed liner notes, and voluminous credits showered on just about anyone and everyone.....

Except the people who actually made the recordings, and the company that made them possible in addition to providing the excellent sound in the arena (with the exception of one year, after which they were invited back after the other company failed miserably).

And how could they have missed these RELEVANT credits, when all the information necessary was duly noted on each box of tape that was recorded?

I know this to be a fact, as I personally wrote a couple hundred of these detailed labels.

Let's see if these fellows step up to the plate, take responsibility and do the right thing, instead of plundering and patting themselves on the back while they're at it.

A real shame, to be sure.....
