WMMR's Live from Sigma Sound broadcasts were a series recorded at Sigma Sound, 212 North 12th Street, Philadelphia, engineered by Joe Tarsia. Raitt's set went out on 22 February 1972, and the station replayed it many times, which built her Philadelphia following. It is remembered for Blender Blues, a song she later came to dread. Leftfield Media issued it in 2010, followed in 2012 by a 17-track deluxe edition and a vinyl LP. Finest Lovin' Man is track seven.
