The music on this release was recorded live on radio on July 25, 1975. At the same time an Apollo spacecraft was returning to earth after the first USA / USSR space rendezvous. Rather than leaving the performance to broadcast the splashdown the two were merged - the splashdown commentary was mixed with Police Dog Blues and can be heard on this release.
