Taken from back cover of LP sleeve:
\"SPEED TRIALS was a 5-day festival of music and performance held May 4-8 at White Columns gallery in New York City. Over 100 musicians, dancers and artists were featured, encompassing a wide range of styles, attitudes and ideas. This record does not attempt to document the whole scope of SPEED TRIALS (a complete documentation would obviously have been impossible), but focuses instead on a few specific bands and the music they were making at that time: SELF-BAITING, PAINFULLY RAW AND DELIRIOUSLY CLEAR.\"
