I saw them when they first came to London (I think). One of the most memorable gigs of my life. I was so impressed. I think they gave me a hernia. 

... a lot of smoke ?

I don't remember the smoke. I remember a Greek metal guy in an Impaled Nazarene t shirt right at the "front" (this was before they were picked up more widely; everyone there was into metal first and foremost, and there weren't many people) starting the gig fist pounding and shouting encouragingly "play the metal!!!!", and then falling asleep on the stage in front of the amps, despite the hellish noise, whilst his empty glass moved purely as a result of the vibrations in a parabola away from him, then back towards him, and then just shattered. It was a great gig that probably damaged me for life.

Sleepy Night Records? Are they legit? Miles was a Columbia recording artist in 1971, so shouldn't the back tray mention that?

I think they're one of those labels that gets legit rights to radio broadcasts for which the artists signed releases as a condition to broadcast. The broadcaster maintined/maintains the rights to do with as they please. At least that's been their sort-of story in the past.

Aside from that, they do good work. Previous releases have been in better quality than the bootlegs of the same materials.
