This is the original complete version of POTATOLAND, as envisioned by Randy California and Ed Cassidy circa 1972/1973. While it shares some of the same songs with our other POTATOLAND release from 1981, these are the original versions. The vast majority of the songs have never been officially released in any format. POTATOLAND has been one of the most legendary unreleased recordings of any band until now! Portions of the original POTATOLAND were broadcast by the BBC during SPIRIT's tour of the UK in March/April 1973, creating a large cult following for the album, but it was rejected several times by CBS, and never released. There are two bonus studio tracks from alternate versions of the album that the band tried to get approved by CBS, as well as live tracks originally broadcast by KPFK-FM in LA in Sept. 1972.
The liner notes indicate that this is a mixture of DAT and acetate recording there fore the quality sometimes wavers hence I thought it would be worthwhile doing it at 320. However this is how Potatoland should have been and was never released.
