Found a Japanese site with the bootleg listed and used Google to translate it, and it's priceless methinks ( http://blog.so-net.ne.jp/crimson-uk-asia/2005-06-05 ):


Title: LIVE LARKS
Label: MOONCHILD RECORDS
Sound quality: 6.5 Point
Contents: 9 points

It is [raivu] in 1973 May 6th Connecticut state.
It is audience sound recording with example.
It probably is the consequence whose efficiency of the microphone is not good excessively?,
Entirely the contour of sound having become blurred, clearing in order to be lacking a little, you are moved.
With say, it is not the extent that it is difficult to appreciate performance.
Because it is to be audience sound recording of this age, the person who expects the high sound quality by mistake is. If the ear is accustomed, on the other hand listening it is the extent which it exceeds in the sound which has force.That, sound of the violin of the cross is recorded very beautifully.

One number is the "doctor diamond". It seems that the person who appraises the performance which was recorded in this disk high is, but As my individual, you cannot think in so enormous performance. In the past method of performing with Berkeley which is introduced being a force, as for me we like. In the performance of this disk, before song of [uetsuton] starts, in strike part, The guitar of the flip doing to be too far ahead, the other member just barely is, but there is a part where sound slips. As for this with unusual thing shank.

The following as for "sun and shivering part 1", Before the violin solo of the cross, the performance which is the force due to member everyone is heard. It is different from studio sound recording, in order to perform rather with improvisation, it is moved.

After the "easy money" is, it keeps being connected to in professional tune that way. This is the tune where the melody where the violin is beautiful is impressive. Atmosphere just a little has been similar to ?the trio? ?of the world of album darkness?. This tune is connected to ?[eguzairuzu]? without the break. It is just instant in the intermediate part ?of [eguzairuzu]?, but According to the deterioration of the tape there is the distortion of the sound which is thought.

The next in professional tune the violin of the cross starts from the entwinement of the base of [uetsuton]. With the feeling, improvisation truly, it seems that is performed mutually with groping. The one which you have heard, you do not know whether tune keeps facing somewhere. This tune is long rather, is, (approximately 14 minutes). Just a little, it is boring, (the ^^).

Don't you think? as for ?the talking drum ~ sun and melody part 2? after all live one is a force. Trick of sound makes feel even rather violence destructive power. As for violin of especially cross most dangerous weapons (insanity?)It seems the way. When you inquire about such, studio sound recording is felt being placid, cosily. When hearing ending, the inside of the brain becomes true [tsu] white.

By the way, there is ?NEURO-SURGEONS? you recorded the same live as a boot.
Basically it is to be the same contents, but because there is the somewhat difference, the next time introduces this boot.
