Deadlists Comments:
The newly circulating CDs transcribe Latvala's cassette copy of
the master reels.  The cassette has a flip about 11 minutes in to the Dark
Star but Latvala must have put some overlap on B because there is no cut
audible on the well-produced CD.

A 41 minute fragment from this tape has circulated for years, usually
mislabeled "Family Dog 8/29/69" but sometimes also mislabeld "Family Dog
6/5/69" or "Fillmore West 6/5/69."  This fragment contains the last 17:50 of
Dark Star through the first 3:28 of High Time.

It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be
stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected.
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.

Caveat Auditor: The sound is pretty rough, this certainly does
NOT upgrade ID-8594. However, as an example of an early audience
recording, it does have historical interest. This is likely the
same "mislabled fragment" that is referred to on Deadlists.

The lineage was listed as: Aud Master > Reel > Latvala's Reel >
Cassette > Seaweed's cassette (4th gen). The recording is mono.
There are some cuts that were left un-repaired: Dark Star 2:21
(a lot missing), Dark Star 7:11, St. Stephen 6:27 (tiny skip),
and The Eleven 1:13. Small FLAC sizes due to mono WAV data.

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel
sound, like DTS and Dolby Digital. While the Audio-CD
standard (Red Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these
new sound formats, it is still possible to go around the
specification and to put a 5.1 surround recording on a
regular Audio-CD. To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must connect
your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial)
to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure
that your receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio CD, so the
first time you're trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you
must do a test to determine if it can. Begin with the
volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the
analog audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions

Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any
normal Audio-CD from FLAC files.
