Notes
  • review: [mixed] Hunt 1971: Re NRPS, he says they sound like everyone else and that they "wound up their set with a disastrously arranged version of 'The Weight'" | Worsham 1971
  • expost: "Short shit," Berkeley Tribe, September 3-9, 1971, p. 13. Bill Graham got $3,000, the GD got $21,000, and some Berkeley politics had their malas in a twist.
