'Keep Smiling People' - 1968, Amsterdam and Rome

Sound Quality: F
Performance: C (can't really tell, see sound quality grade)
Overall Grade: 1/5 The deepest of all storage

This is about as bad as it gets for ROIO, the quality is absolutely hideous, it was a test of my will and staying power to sit through the whole thing. This album contains songs from two different shows and I kept hoping it would switch to the other show and be better, it did not get better and I couldn't even tell it had switched.

Now I know this is from 1968 and I understand equipment to make these kinds of recordings was not good but that doesn't mean you have to listen to this either so save yourself the agony, sure the first track is an early version of 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' but to be honest I couldn't hear any resemblance of that song and with the poor quality I couldn't tell a whole lot of much of anything.

There were a couple of tracks which seems to be well performed, but the vocals were barely audible, sometimes I was not even sure that there were the vocals on some tracks.

Avoid this, don't waste your time!
