Very rare original 1974? US private pressing on Creative Music Communication (Woodstock NY) (catalog # CMC 00101 / CMC Series No. 1) recording from Washington Square Church (Peace Church) with original gatefold sleeve. This two record set was recorded by Bob Cummins and distributed by his India Navigation label, but was a production of the Creative Music Foundation.

This is wonderful work in spacy and spiritual atmosphere. It's never released on a CD.
