The "Necromancer Series"—which reissues rare titles from handmade, collector-focused labels (originally circulated only within very limited circles) using the official master recordings—now welcomes "Headless Hawk," one of the premier collector labels in the jazz genre. These rare titles are being re-released at an accessible price point, featuring a special reissue emblem and newly designed back covers.

This is a live recording of the Pat Metheny Group from 1985.
While many Pat Metheny bootlegs suffer from poor sound quality, this audience recording is of exceptionally good quality. This dates back to the era of *First Circle* and *The Falcon and the Snowman*. "Chris" is an instrumental version of "This Is Not America"—the hit song featuring vocals by David Bowie. In the latter half, a chorus group joins in, adding some passionate vocal elements to the mix.
