Lagga's notes (the taper) : "I first went to London in 1966 and one of the first persons I stumbled into was Al at Dobells Folkrecordstore. Over the years I saw Al many times in Cousins, Bunjies & other places. In 1972 Al played at Stockholm Student Union - a catastrophe - with a drunk & noisy audience. I suggested to Al that the next time he toured Scandinavia he should come to Uppsala Musikforum, my club in Uppsala. Early in the spring 1973, Al's manager contacted me & said that Al wanted to come & play for just the travel expenses from Copenhagen. This, my best recording in the Shoebox, is a memory from a really inspired performance by Al in Uppsala! Enjoy!"

The bonus track comes from a Swedish radio program "Opp-O-Poppa". Lagga the taper didn't record the original date, but says it was in the summer of 1969. Al played "Old Compton Street Blues" live before an audience in the studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. Lagga was actually the person who rang up with this request (as mentioned by Al in the intro). Lagga's comment : "I still wonder how I managed to reach Al on the phone through the radio switchboard...".
