This release features the three complete sessions preceeding the 'Futuristic Sounds..." date. The first of the three dates featured here as BONUS TRACKS took place at Chicago's Wonder Inn during July 1960, and yielded only one track - an excellent version of "Early Autumn".

The second date which took place in late 1960, also produced one track: "Kingdom Of Thunder". The third and final session includes different tracks ("Distant Stars", "Onward, Space Aura", "We Travel The Spaceways", "Space Loneliness") recorded in Chicago in late 1960 or early 1961.
