Publicity stated: In 2012 we have released the great June 9th Madison Square Garden NYC concert (CD 'Left a Good Job in The City'). This classic CD has been sold out for many years. Now we have restored this recording from scratch.
In 2020 we obtained two quality tapes of other NYC concerts from June 10th Evening Show and June 11th Afternoon Show. We have decided to release all three shows in one deluxe 3-CD set.
We are fully aware that the June 10th Evening Show was released several times officially by RCA from the professional multi-track tapes. Nevertheless, we have found an alternative source - an excellent audience-recorded tape! It brings you a whole new listening experience! The incredible audience reaction to every song will blow you away!
The June 11th Afternoonshow was released in 2010 from an inferior source. Once again, we have found an excellent audience-provided alternative. Unfortunately the last three songs were not recorded by the same person. We have used a bit less-quality secondary source to make the show complete. Both the June 10th E/S and 11th A/S were recorded by the same person, using a reel-to-reel tape deck instead of usual the cassette recorder. These recordings are new to your ears - they were not in the circulation yet! If you have enjoyed our "Left a Good Job in The City" CD, we believe that you will love this one as well.
Presented in the usual Straight Arrow fashion with the top notch digipack including photos from the three NYC shows and the Daily News press review.

Note: All the tracks on the 'Devil In Disguise: the ‘Lost Album’ Sessions' except the Take 7 False Start of 'Love Me Tonight' were previously released on FTD's 'Memphis Tennessee' 2008 Classic Album. Take 7 was first released on the Cool Romeo bootleg 'Unsurpassed Masters' (Box 3). Hopefully the album will be presented as a "session" with some unreleased 'count ins' and snippets of studio banter between the takes.
From the May 12 1973 concert we already had the two tracks 'I'm Leavin'' and 'A Big Hunk O' Love' on the 2003 FTD release ‘Takin’ Tahoe Tonight’.
