From the Think Like A Key record label:
Eight tracks. One afternoon. Five guys who didn't even know the record existed until it was already in American shops. A young London impresario named Adrian Millar marched a hard-rock outfit called Hunter into one of London's great studios, cut the album with engineer Louis Austin (early Fleetwood Mac, Queen) at the desk, then drove off in a Rolls-Royce with the tapes. The album surfaced stateside in 1971 under a name the band never chose, became a collector's grail, and has been bootlegged ever since — but never from the original source.
Millar's master session tape — recovered from his family's loft years after his passing — is the only tape that matters. The Producer's Cut is the first edition sourced from that multi-track reel. Every previous reissue and bootleg pressed an LP transfer. This is the multi-track itself, freshly remixed, and corrected for the first time: the original tape ran approximately 2% slow, meaning the album the world knows has always been slightly flat and sluggish. Not anymore.
