Notes

This maximum-length CD-only release consists of selections from an unreleased live album by Frith and Kaiser combined with "greatest hits" from their two out-of-print duo albums: "With Friends Like These" and "Who Needs Enemies?" .
Most all of this music was improvised by one method or another. Tracks 3,4,5,7,8,12,14,15,16 were recorded without overdubbing.
Frith and Kaiser give very special thanks to our engineer, Oliver DiCicco who recorded this music with us in an especially collaborative and creative way. Thanks also to Larry Ochs and Metalanguage Records who originally issued the previously released materials on this CD. Thanks to Greg, Rich and Ray at SST for making this CD possible.
