Decent enough live tracks from '71 and '73. But given 1) the muffled sound; 2) the fact that these don't really differ from the studio versions; and 3) better live renditions of many of these songs can be found on the Memories are New comp, I'm not really sure what Long Live Supersister! adds to the already impressive Ss legacy.

Note: the vinyl version of this release adds 4 tracks from a '71 radio broadcast that already appeared on Memories are New.
