It's definitely not worth paying much for that album. I'd recommend
getting that Samurai Surf Guitar 2-CD set, since that has a bunch of
his other rare sixties tracks on the 1st CD, and the full Ciro's and
Tiger's Loose albums on the other CD. Definitely worth it! I think
it pops up on eBay relatively recently (in fact, I think it's just
some guy making the CDs by himself).

It's an excellent track. The best on the whole album, for sure.
Very dark. You can also get it on the Better Shred Than Dead 2-CD
Rhino anthology.

Smoke on the Water is pretty bad, I agree. But I thought there were
many other great moments during the shows. After actually walking
out of his shows in '97 and '00 (just couldn't take it anymore - and
in '00, the Cossacks played with him, so that's why I was there in
the first place), I grew to enjoy his live sets again. It took me
four years, though!
