Legends of the Lost and Found

This live recording was originally released in December 1979. It is one of two three live recording available. This is the only album of Harry's has not yet been released on CD. The vinyl recording was a double album.    The vinyl album had sides 1 and 4 on one record and 2 and 3 on another record.  Many of these songs were never released on studio releases. 

When you open the vinyl album like a book it has a drawing by Ron Dilg, reminiscent of Sniper and Short Stories albums with scenes based on the songs on the album. The black and white picture drawing of old folk singer sitting on on his beat up guitar case is a cause enough to pickup this vinyl album if you can find it.
