Description from Steve Winwood fan site: http://www.winwoodfans.com/boot70.htm
OMS Reel Recordings, Mexico. This is billed as out takes from the Low Spark studio sessions, thought it seems to have other stuff as well. The sound quality is excellent except for the alternate mix "Rock & Roll Stew" extended version which is curiously distorted. 12 tracks pretty much suitable for die hard fans only:
1) Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, alternate take 2/9/71. Not really that different from the real version except that Chris Wood's electric sax is replaced by lethargic noodling.
2) "Rock & Roll Stew" alternate take, 5/19/71. Same words & progression as the actual take but the feel of the song is completely different. Almost a different song entirely. Interesting to see how the song evolved over 3 months time.
3) "Rainmaker" Different mix 5/19/71. Pretty much what it says.
4) "Rock & Roll Stew" different mix 8/25/71. This is (I guess) the full version from the English 45. As mentioned above, it is somewhat distorted (overmodulated) though certainly listenable. The instrumental ending not included on the album version is not particularly memorable. If this is indeed the extended 45 version, you haven't missed much.
5) "Light Up or Leave me Alone" different mix 8/25/71. Mostly, the difference is Capaldi vocalizing a bit during the instrumental sections.
6) Jam #1, take 2. Personnel not really listed but it sounds like Winwood, Gordon & Grech sounding sorta like Blind Faith. Interesting take but just a jammy thing.
7 & 8) Jam #2 & 3 w/Muscle Shoals Horns. Not sure who's playing what beyond the obvious. The rhythm section certainly seems to be the Alabamy boys and I'd bet on Winwood on guitar and maybe organ. Shoot Out meets a horn section.
9 & 10) "It's So Hard" Capaldi & Gordon. Capaldi & (Gordon) playing acoustic guitar, fleshing out the song. For die hard fans only.
11 & 12) "Easter Weekend" Same as above.
Enjoy or not

After the Rock Roses and Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets were arguably the 3rd most widely used band to emerge from the past due-’80s/early-’90s Madchester scene. Just like the Charlatans UK, they weren’t quite as innovative because the city’s two standard-bearers, relying much less on the modern dance golf club beats that became Madchester pop’s determining signature. They do, however, talk about a desire for trippy psychedelia, specially the Farfisa organ-drenched audio of Nuggets-style garage area rock from your ’60s, which arranged them aside from their peers. In addition, it enabled these to tinker making use of their audio after the Madchester trend had approved, as well as the group continuing to score strikes right up with their middle-’90s separation. Inspiral Carpets and rugs were created in the higher Manchester city of Oldham by guitarist Graham Lambert — who’d been experimenting the region since 1982 — and vocalist Stephen Holt, who quickly both recruited drummer, Craig Gill. The group started to choose a long term lineup in 1986 when Farfisa organist Clint Benefit became a member of up, before bassist Dave Swift arrived to the fold the next year....MORE HERE
