After their psychedelic and bluesy beginnings, Missus Beastly had been playing instrumental jazz-rock since 1974. This was also the case here at their performance at the Haus der Jugend in Minden on Friday, January 23rd, 1976. In the same month, just a few days before, they had also recorded their then third LP 'Dr. Aftershave and the mixed-pickles', then still with Jürgen Benz. So the pieces on the Minden CD contain some elements of the LP tracks, but nothing more. It wasn't that the pieces were played live - they were free variations. Hence the neutral titles 'Minden Mind - Part 01' to 'Minden Mind - Part 07'. The professional recording is flawless in sound
