This CD is a digital clone of: Irishman in LA and of  ...It Ain't Why It Just Is! - Big Music ‎– BIG 047
Tape in circulation is a mix of the It's Too Late to Stop Now acetates taken from many shows and the Montreux 74 show. A real Live At The Troubadour Los Angeles 26 May 1973 tape has never surfaced. Please note that "Purple Heather" is "Wild Mountain Thyme".

There were acetates made of a 3 record set of It's Too Late To Stop Now. When the choice was made to make it a 2 record set, the above tracks were left off. (The last four tracks on this boot are taken from Montreaux 1974). This boot is a clone of Irishman in LA (or vice versa). This boot is not to be confused with another 2CD bootleg with the same name. The sound quality of this boot is impeccable Note: Outward facing spine on inlay states Bruce Springsteen as artist. Inward facing spine is correct (see images).

The sound on It Aint Why, It Just Is is excellent stereo sound with occasional pops and scratches (just like those old LPs you use to have...)
