Notes that came with the 1974 recording:

Recorded after GP's death but just prior to recording 
Pieces Of The Sky

This sounds better than a hand-held cassette machine recording, 
purportedly a sound board, but it's not by any means what we think 
of as soundboard quality by today's standards.


From Bill De Young's article in Goldmine: 

After Gram Parsons's death, Emmy moved back to DC, where Tom Guidera 
had also become a country music convert. With pedal steel player 
Danny Pendleton and two other musicians, they put together the 
Angel Band and started gigging around the clubs, playing some of 
the songs she’d performed with Gram. Eddie Tickner made Harris 
his number one priority and he convinced Mary Martin, an A&R 
representative from Warner/Reprise Records (the label that had 
released Parsons’ solo work) to investigate an Angel Band show 
in a Washington nightclub. 

Emmylou Harris became a Reprise Records recording artist in 1974; 
with her daughter Hallie in tow, the Angel Band relocated to LA to 
begin work on Harris’s first true solo album. 

To produce, Martin paired Harris up with Nova Scotia native Brian 
Ahern, the mastermind behind Anne Murray’s spate of hits in the 
early 70’s. She brought the quiet Canadian to hear the Angel Band, 
and he recorded the performance on a hand-held cassette machine to 
study at home.
