The Elder demos contain a bit more noise/hiss removal than I would prefer, however the only other source I've heard for these are really horrible sounding with tape bleedthrough, tons of hiss, etc. So these versions are as good as it gets, and a very enjoyable listen.

Also included in this torrent is an upgraded version of Sword And Stone that would replace disc2track19. It is a bit cleaner, and sounds like a generation or two lower than the version in the first torrent.
