Cassette transfer via Technics RSBX404 through a MOTU 828MKII into Logic pro at 24bit/44.1kHz. Subtle level enhancement and dithering to 16 bit by slate digital FG-X. Freac convert to FLAC and md5 files created by MD5.

Not the best recording in the world but as itÕs extremely rare itÕs worth sharing. Country Feedback and Half A World Away have some noticeable tape warble in places but these appear to be the only tracks impacted.

Notes:
- Running time 1:57:25
-Inside Out was written "In 1066 at the eginning of the Norman conquest".  WTTO "Was written after the middle ages, someti,e after the 4th dynasty in China before they built those mud things that turn into a soldier.  You're going to have to speak up if you want to talk to me.  I'm not very fond of your shirt.  The guy...got a nice smile.  The song was written in 1924 abd is called Welcome To The Occuption".
-Before Strange Currencies MS "All right, you're 17 years old and your best friend's got a 1976 Pontiac and you live in the midwesy of the United States and it's graduation night and everyone around you has a date and you don't and you feel pretty bad and this is your song".
- Before Tongue MS playfully chastises the crowd for cheering him taking his shirt off.
-PB's Country Feedback solo 1:15
-Before Departure MS gives away a lanyard(?) and notes the song was written "in the Basque region of Spain".

Grade: C
-There are a couple brief dropouts I forgot to mark
