disc 1 features a definitive version of "the other one" in its late 70's arrangement, and to many the very best "stella blue" ever performed. "olin arageed" on disc 2 features hamza el din on percussion & vocals leading to an amazing transition into deal. john cippolina (quicksilver messenger service) and lee oskar (WAR) also guest on a few tunes
