Notes

The Bank, Cortland, USA for the live tracks, unknown for the demos.

MASTER REEL

Late January or early February 1972 for the live tracks, unknown for the demos (most likely 1972). This was recorded in early 1972, shortly after the band dropped the name "The Elves" and became "Elf", and not long before recording the first album. The sound quality is amazing, a lot of covers as well as unreleased material, and what's more : Ronnie James Dio covering "War Pigs" more than 7 years before joining Back Sabbath !
