Notes and Comments:
Important information about how this CD set relates to the actual Soul to Soul recording sessions and the other boot CDs that comprise parts of those sessions has been provided by Steve Toney, a member of the Texas Flood mailing list.

I was very disappointed on the way the info. was presented on the packaging. Rather misleading to say the least. They were entitled Stevie Ray Vaughan: Unsurpassed Masters Vol I, II and III. These CD's are nothing more than the SOUL TO SOUL outakes, which I already had. I can't remember what exactly was on the "Touch the Sky Sessions" but if my memory serves me correct, this was more SOUL TO SOUL outtakes as well.

"Unsurpassed Masters" are all studio recordings most likely from the "Soul To Soul" sessions, mar-may85. I wouldn't recommend these. The first discs has one second "gaps" during tracks 5,10,12,13. And Volumes 2 & 3 sound like a partial mix and are missing the vocals on most tracks.
