Comments:

    Follow up to vol.1 containing even more rarities and b-sides (many live).

Quality:

Good sound, but not quite as good as PTG Vol.1. The treble sounds a bit harsh in places, and "Put Your Big Toe In The Milk Of Human Kindness" seems to suffer from some kind of bad tape tracking causing a periodic loss of treble. Anyhow, I still recommend this boot highly - Paul Hosken {hosken@t-online.de} Performance: 7/10. Sound: 6/10 - John Steffes {john.c.steffes@jci.com}
