SO I was in a used music store today and came across Live at Boston Tea Party, 1969, and bought it... go me go. Anyway, I've got questions. It credits both Lou and Mo on the box with vocals, but doesn't have "Sticking With You" or "afterhour" or anything... what's Mo singing? (Is she?) You can't really hear the vocals too well on this one, and Lou sounds really REALLY high pitched when you can, but I like it. I think this is my favorite version of Sister Ray, because the drums are so loud. It's like actually being at the show, live.

Sounds like you picked up a copy of LIVE AT THE BOSTON TEA PARTY (Black Panther BPCD 012, Italy, 1989).
Don't know about the credits for Mo singing, but the reason why Lou may sound so high-pitched is that the CD was mastered from Live At The Boston Tea Party bootleg vinyl LP. Like the vinyl version, the speed on the CD is too fast for first six tracks...
Sister Ray is the Guitar Amp version - the taper just put the mic in front of Lou's amp and started taping. So, you get all guitars and drums and hardly any vocal. Yes, it's the most pounding version I've heard, too - truly awesome!!!
Goog for you snapping it up when you saw it.
