September 26 - Setting The Arrow Straight

The Straigt Arrow import label announced several new releases. Originally, the label slotted the February 21, 1973 Dinner Show for Volume 2, but during  pre-production several technical problems cropped up which required additional studio work, the producers decided to unleash another "two-mic ambient tape" from their vaults, a Valentine's Day special: the previously-unreleased February 14 Dinner Show. 


As a teaser, producers included one track from the February 21 tape, a knockout performance of "What Now My Love," including a false start and a reprise. This show will be released as "I Can't Stop Loving You" later this year. The label also announced a jewel case CD with standard 16-page booklet "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" featuring an unreleased Las Vegas set from the August 30, 1973 Dinner Show (audience recording).
