Have two versions of this. One is cassm>cass1(2x TDK SA 90s)(Thomas Lambert)>(playback on Nakamichi CR-4E)>2448>2CDR1. It lives on HD. Quality varies throoughout, mic rustle present between most songs. Grade: D. Better than that at times but I'll go with lowest common denominator on this.

The other is a tape I dubbed while staying with Brett Lowman in 2004. It doesn't have any source info but it sounds notably better. I believe it is from a different source. There is some chatter after Exhuming McCarthy on this version that is not present on the Thomas Lambert version.
