Comment
These are 4 CDs of Seastones shows. 1-3 were originally distributed by the Bay Area Traders Group (BATG) as 11.28.73, but are thought by some to actually be 3 different performances. This issue, and others, were discussed extensively on Deadlists. The Tarot outakes were on side 2 of the second tape. The origin of the Dominican College, San Rafael show is not known by me. Some history: I was attracted to this show by the Compendium vol 1 review. I went looking for the tape, but was turned down by an analog trader who suggested I seek out a DAT copy. After some more searching, a kind DATster spun a CD copy for me. Upon examination, it turned out that the quality of the DAT copy was lower than the copy owned by the analog trader. He finally relented and loaned me the tapes, but not until after comparing quality with the Compendium reviewer's tape. It is probably relevant that the DATster got the tape from the DAT branch of the BATG tree. The shows are a bit hissy, but are the best quality of 4 copies checked. The Compendium reviewer gave his copy an "A", but I'd call the selected recordings A-/B+. I digitized the tapes (Denon, P-200, AWE64, CoolEdit96), set track markers (kindly provided by the analog trader), rejoined overlapped sections providing coverage over tape flips etc and burned to CDR (CDRWin, SAF-RW226, TDK blanks).
