This was like a festival I'm guessing as I read a little of it saying the artists all improvised songs on the spot with some covers and some originals. I saw young Linda Rondstadt was on it and since I posted her early Stone Poneys it got me on the way back machine to this release and it IS out there!

This looks cool. Never knew this existed. Thanks!
There's a Wikipedia page on this set: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_from_Free_Creek. Per Klingman's New York Times obituary, Mark "Moogy" Klingman took over from Todd Rundgren to make this a reality.
Quoting:
---------
In 1968 he played on the soundtrack for the Jane Fonda science fiction film “Barbarella.” He met Mr. Rundgren outside the Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village that same year.
Mr. Rundgren and Mr. Klingman built a recording studio, Secret Sound, in Mr. Rundgren’s Manhattan loft. When Mr. Rundgren formed Utopia in 1973, he used members of Mr. Klingman’s band, Moogy and the Rhythm Kings, as the core.
Mr. Rundgren was scheduled to produce a “super session” in 1969 involving Mr. Clapton, Mr. Beck, Dr. John, Linda Ronstadt and other musicians. But after Mr. Rundgren’s manager refused the payment offered, Mr. Klingman, at 18, took on the project and found himself supervising his musical idols. The effort led to a single album, “Summit Meeting,” and a double album, “Music From Free Creek,” both released in England in the 1970s. The musicians used pseudonyms on the album. Mr. Clapton was “King Cool” and Mr. Beck “A. N. Other.”
In a 2001 interview with the magazine Heavy Metal Mayhem, Mr. Klingman said he had approached the sessions dreading that someone would say, “Who are you, Sonny, to tell us what to do?” No one did. “I knew when to back off,” he said.
Great Album, but side C playing twice instead of side D. Can you re-upload?
