This is an ultra rare 3CD-bootleg release on Seagull Records, compiling different live recordings from the 1974 "California Jam". Many of the "big" names were there, playing the whole range from hard & heavy rock to blues. 

The only tiny little blemish with this release is that nothing here was actually recorded at California Jam. Even better, none of the artists compiled here even played at California Jam! So although this release is complete bogus it is nevertheless a nice collection of recordings most which seem to be sourced from King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcasts.

The first thing I want to say about this great sounding set, is that not one performance took place at the California Jam no matter what the title might suggest. That being said, EVERY PERFORMANCE is Soundboard/FM quality, leading me to believe it's a compilation of radio shows. The Who tracks come from one of their King Biscuit Flower Hour appearances. I was told but can't confirm that the Mott The Hoople tracks are from a King Biscut Flower Hour show. I highly recommend this 3CD set, I mean look at the artist and track list, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Robin Trower, Leslie West, Peter Townsend, one thing the title was correct about is the Guitar Factor!!

Most tracks seem to be sourced from the King Biscuit Flower Hour, a few others from bootlegs or unknown sources, most all from 1973 - 1974; TYA didn't exist in April 1974; Steven Tyler says "thank you New York;" Leslie West wishes Felix Pappalardi happy birthday (he was born 12/30/39); still a great collection!
