Notes

"In November 1967 Terry Riley performed an All Night Concert in Philadelphia under the moniker Poppy Nogood. A form of happening where Terry improvised on soprano saxophone and tape-delay feed-back system, otherwise known as the "time-lag accumulator". The "All Night Flight" concert held in the Philadelphia art school began at 10pm and lasted until dawn. Attendees were encouraged to bring along sleeping bags and make a full evening of it. One of those that attended operated a disco in Philadelphia and commissioned Terry to compose a "theme" for the night-club. The result is the plundering and appropriation of an obscure R&B tune "You're Nogood" [sic] ['You're No Good' by Harvey Averne] in a mix of moog, tape-loops, and feed-back system. First Time Available." - from original obi info wrap.

Disc 2 was recorded live at 10 p.m. November 17, 1967 and originally released as an open reel tape as part of SMS No. 3: June 1968 published by The Letter Edged in Black Press.
