This new cover art caught my eye. Here is part of the description on the Bandcamp website for this new reissue, which is apparently download and streaming only:
These tracks were first issued on CD in 1993 by Evidence Records; the package was subtitled “Soundtrack to the film” and featured different cover art. That CD is long out of print, but can be purchased on the secondary market. The contents of the album were issued on LP by Sutro Park in 2010, and they created new cover art. (So did we.) Yet another CD edition was included (along with a DVD of the film) in the 40th Anniversary coffee-table book published in 2014 by Harte Recordings.
The audio for this digital release has some minor improvements over the Evidence and Harte CDs (including the reduction of 60Hz electrical hum during quiet passages), but the respective editions are largely comparable. Wherever the tracks were originally recorded, they were well-recorded. However, according to Jim Newman, the original master tapes were destroyed in a studio fire. All that remains is a quarter-inch stereo mixdown tape.

Their first and best in my opinion. Go Fee, Rick, Prairie, Bill, Vince, Re…
And one of the best live bands ever : )
Indeed, The Tubes were a great live band. Saw them at WPI (my alma mater), fall of '81 for the princely sum of $5. Right when The Completion Backward Principle was released. So much fun for so little cash.

Recently been listening outlander sound tracks (I just started reading the book). season two transitioned from French baroque to Jacobite uprising, then the haunting Culloden Moor battle field, though different Bear managed to adhere to the stories and key characters; Mastered by Pat Sullivan at Bernie Grundman Mastering, very decent sounding CD; Was composed with a lot of large percussions and have plenty dynamics / ; These tracks gave the subs a proper run for sure;
I bought this last year on Acoustic Sounds 5.6MHz DSD download. Great recording reissue and some Damn fine playing.

@rajugsw - as I mentioned to Dan, his 66-68 albums are credited with the start of smooth jazz. Guys like White and Ritenour were influenced. He is yet another great from that time. Not a fan of his work, however, he is amazing. Every once in a while I like that type jazz for an hour. I like more low brow smooth jazz from White, Ritenour, and Culbertson. In 1981 I bought my 1st stereo after my 1st good paying job and listened to Rit for the first time on my Oracle TT through Threshold pre into S150 to KEF REF II and I was hooked on smooth jazz. Fast forward 35+ years and I love that sound… I can listen to it all day on 101 smooth jazz… just really love that music…
While I don’t play Guitar. I’m a rusty fingered Keyboard player. But when it come to Guitar. I’m more of a Al Di Meola, Pat Metheny, and now Wes Montgomery fan WRT Jazz Guitar. I also bought the 5.6MHz DSD of Montgomery’s Too Much Guitar ! Another one that I like.
