From https://www.accessbackstage.com/america/album/album92.htm

"This album was first discovered by Mark Cole who read about it in a book that listed information about old bootleg albums. The book said it was released in 1973 under the Phonygraph label (catalog # 1101). That was a fairly well known bootleg label in the early 70s. America was on side one and the Eagles on side two, since America was more popular than the Eagles at that time.

Howard Lieboff discovered that this bootleg was taken from the ABC "Wide World In Concert" show which was televised in 1974.

In 2001 Johnny Yee got a copy of the album and shared this wealth of information:

The America/Eagles bootleg album is called "On The Road". It came in an all white sleeve with nothing written on it. The album cover is plain white with nothing written on it as well. Placed in front of the cover (between the wrapper and the cardboard cover) is a 12" x 11" photocopied piece of paper. The color of the paper insert is powder blue with black writing. There is nothing on the back of the album cover.

On the bottom left is a notation that reads: "lf74.0903". Perhaps this is a date, 09/03/74.

On the bottom right is a drawing of a reel-to-reel tape recorder. On it, it reads: "PHONYGRAF Vinyl". This appears to be Phonygraf's logo.

On Side 1 of the LP is America. Although the front sheet lists only four America songs, there are actually six! They are played in this order: A Horse With No Name, Lonely People, I Need You, Ventura Highway, Green Monkey, and Sandman."
