This distillation of Rah's last 3 albums predated 32 Records' A STANDING EIGHT by 3 or 4 years, and is likely the best choice of that material, as Joel Dorn himself compiled a single disc of what he considered the best moments from those final recordings, bookended by previously-unreleased tracks that still can only be found on this disc. (Although I should note that "Thunder and Lightning Goodbye" merges Kirk's medley of "Sentimental Journey" and "Coming Home" - taken from the Vanguard side of RAHSAAN RAHSAAN - with the sounds of a rainstorm.)
