Buy it for the cuts from "Double Dose"

"In a perfect world Hot Tuna's "Double Dose" would be readily available on cd...in a really perfect world DD would already be remastered with bonus cuts...and in that perfect world we'd call this release a rip-off. BUT, the world isn't perfect and DD isn't readily available (yet) and so this has to be counted for what it is - the best single source for cuts from DD currently available.
This is all previously released material. 4 cuts are from the first Hot Tuna lp (Know You Rider, Uncle Sam Blues, Don't You Leave Me Here, and Death Don't Have No Mercy) and the other 6 cuts are from DD (Funky #7, Bowlegged Woman Knock Kneed Man, Genesis, Embryonic Journey, I Wish You Would, and Watch The North Wind Rise).
It's ALL good! But the only reason to buy this is for the otherwise mostly unavailable cuts from DD. Until DD comes out, this'll have to do!"
