NOTES:
Frankly, this is a greatly flawed digital rendering and is presented with a number of caveats.
One channel is more or less fine, but the other has the most bizarre waveform I have ever
seen. Not sure if the damage was introduced onto the original analog source, in the A>D process,
or some subsequent clone. Not in the present extraction, which was performed no less than 4 times
on 4 different DAT recorders. Ultimately, there is diginoise in Breathe, a dropout in U&T, ACYL
and Echoes are cut, and this source tape misses Blues. Still with me? Good.

...Wait, why are you still with me on this? Didn't you read that last sentence? What kind of
obsessive sadist are you?! Well, I sent some samples of this to a friend on this site for review
a few months ago, this was still enthusiastically sought as a potential upgrade, aforementioned
flaws and all. So, et voila.

If somebody wishes to work on the source, I might suggest cloning one channel and scrapping
the other. Additionally, there might be some speed issues. However, the present copy is
an unaltered transfer of what is on my DAT. There are reasons why I haven't scrapped the flawed
left channel on this initial upload, as may be particularly evident near the end.

Aside from the LP, this show seems to be something of a gap in terms of circulating copies,
which is unfortunate--a proper rendering of the source should sound fantastic. Hopefully
there will instead be some new source for the date forthcoming, to make any hypothetical
tinkering on this particular set obsolete. I seem to remember a different transfer of a
comparable (same?) source existing, but I don't seem to have it on hand.
