Comments: "originally released on Highland, HL521/522  "A high quality double bootleg compilation entitled Turn Of The Seasons was also produced by the Highland label in Japan to commemorate three of the band's live performances from 1974."  Personally, I don't agree with this description, hence the minus rating. The odd distortion makes this difficult.
