Since mid-1974 Bill Wyman involved himself in compiling vocal and instrumental tracks for a concept called "Black Box". He spent months going over the archives, selected about 18 titles, laid it all historically, especially for the collectors, provided this album to Klein which he turned down.
The live songs in this album, "Little Red Rooster" and "Down The Road Apiece", surely are radio recordings, same as with BBC "Cops And Robbers" and "Fanny Mae" sessions.
