A compilation of both Eric Dolphy LPs recorded for Douglas along with the best alternate takes, all recorded in mono, adding 85 minutes of previously unissued music. The original LPs Conversations and Iron Man were issued in stereo, but those master tapes have been lost. These tapes were left by Eric Dolphy with composer Hale Smith and his wife Juanita prior to his ill-fated tour of Europe in 1964. They were in the possession of flautist James Newton when they were discovered.

Made in USA

100-page booklet includes credits, liner notes and interviews.
