- Thanks to Charlie Miller for the transfer
- Thanks to the folks responsible for gd73-03-24.sbd.hamilton.shnid1216
- Thanks to the folks involved in the WBOTB Project for gd73-03-24.sbd.cantor.diebert.shnid83407
- This composite utilizes 3 sources to provide a virtually complete show in one fileset, utilizing the best available sources as of 10/2017
- The Betty Board in general circulation has digital noise reduction processing applied to it
  This transcription of the 2nd Set Betty Board does not have digital noise reduction
- The Betty Board in general circulation (shnid83407) has a cut in "Truckin'"
- "Bertha" (t01)had level/mix fluctuations for the first 1:30 or so. The level fluctuations were minimized
- shnid1216 source was missing most of the between song tunings/banter and had some abrupt between 
  song transitions,these transitions have been smoothed
- First several seconds of "Here Comes Sunshine" (t15) are missing
- While all copies had level/mix issues in the beginning of "Promised Land" (t19),the Betty Boards exhibited 
  more severe level/mix fluctuations than the shnid1216 MSR->C source, so the tuning and first 0:16 of 
  "Promised Land" are from the shnid1216 source and the level fluctuations were minimized
- Truckin'-> Jam-> Spanish Jam (t27)clocks in at 32:37

notes from trailmix 3-15-07:
 � Project WBOTB 
 � these shns were decoded to wav, SBE's fixed (by set), then encoded to flac16 (level 6). The process was repeated and resulted in identical .wavs. 
 � Although the original shns were created in 2002, they are not in circulation and do not exist in the database (which is why these shns were converted and fixed).

Taper Notes:

View Notes--This Hamilton Cassette source (put into circulation in 2000) sounds the BEST in my opinion - much more Phil and
better dynamics overall. It was however riddled with cuts between every track in the first set and the beginning
of the second and a couple of big cuts during the meat of the second set Jam and Dark Star.
To my ears this source sounds better than the circulating Betty Board and deserved to be cleaned up and patched.
I used all the best available sources (Betty Board & Bertha) to patch the short in-between track sections and
the Miller / Clugston composite for the main patches. Alot of sound editing which included a ton of crossfades,
volume adjustment and overal TLC to make everything flow together and be as seamless as possible - too many
little edits to mention - and included fixing all the pre-existing issues present in the original source.
All sound editing work was done using Roxio Sound Editor (2009).
