Taper Notes:

View NotesSilence between end of CD 2 and beginning of CD 3 was eliminated for seamless transition between the two.  Resulting SBEs were cleaned up with shntool.  SHN files were converted to FLAC and overlapping fade tracks were added to the end of CD 2 and beginning of CD 3 for those wishing to burn to CD.  Simply remove the fade tracks for seamless playback.  Thanks to Scott Clugston for keeping all the music intact, allowing this fix to be made.

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:
- This was possibly a Panasonic portable; John recalls "holding it up to head level".
- Wind disruption creates crackly noises & audible tape artifacts at times.
- Small gaps patched with alternate lo-fi tape kindly provided by John & Rich Petrunis.
- Sound is a bit rough... it's a historical interest item.
