This is a very special WMMR Morning Show broadcasted from Jamaica to Philadelphia during a short holiday (!) from working on "Zig Zag". The Hooters played there two mornings in a row in a very relaxed mood. Every song is special, and the atmosphere of a small place (a studio) can be heard as well as a desire from the band to jam a little instead of just hard work in the studio. It starts off with a very good version of "Man In The Street" (my favorite version of that song) followed by an interestingly sounding "Zombies". Other highlights are covers of the reggae classic "The Harder They Come" (together with a Jamaican band called Native) and maybe the coolest song of all on this set, a reggae classic called "Rough Rider". There's also a nice version of the Beatles song "She's A Woman". It finishes off with an early performance of "Mr Big Baboon". The sound is good except for some radio noise which is quite audieble in the beginning of this recording. The bonus tracks is from Scranton, USA, April 23, 1993. An all acoustic performance. Fairly good sound. Available on one CD-R.
