LP-only release of previously unreleased recordings by this SF group, not to be confused with Haymarket Square. Packaged in a deluxe textured gatefold sleeve. "This band was introduced in the Cream Puff War magazine by Alec Palao a couple of years ago under 'Berkeley, the class of '66'. They started with Rolling Stones and Animals cover version but the material soon mutated under the growing influence of the psychedelic trend across the Bay. The beat stayed but the sound changed. They were featured at the legendary 'First Unitarian Church of Kensington' shows in late 67 and early 68. The music here was recorded at this place in December 1967. Bill Graham sums up the Riot's illustrious, if low-profile, career. At their audition he said, 'You guys are one of the greatest bands I've ever heard, and you have absolutely no commercial potential!'"
