-------------------
Notes: This was a tough one. The first 7 tracks were phasey and then at the end of Side B, there was a corrected version of the tracks, which I inserted. This version does not have the band intro, and I could have inserted it but I wanted to keep this as received.
Tape generously loaned from Aadam Jacobs.
