Administration & Liners:
Tree administration for this tree was by the legendary Linda Beatty! Two sets of jewel case liners were created for this collection.

Notes:
A year to remember, 1999 was full of stellar performances. Over the past few months, the cream of the crop has been carefully selected and preserved by a generous fellow fan. Every track is a highlight! Selections include fantastic versions of such classics as All In The Game, And The Healing Has Begun, and Ain’t Nothin’ You Can Do… Cheltenham’s smokin’ Muleskinner Blues, and the show-stopping Help Me from Jones Beach. In all, over two hours of incredible listening.

Van Tree Policy:
Please respect the efforts and the wishes of the dedicated bands of volunteers who put countless hours of time and energy into producing and treeing these rare live performances: please do not offer any of these tree volumes for sale.
