Thanks to all the hard work from the folks mentioned above with
their loving care getting these sources out. Also a thanks for
some of the images used in creation of the artwork. I found them
years ago on the net and do not have any way to properly credit.

Notes on the Source Material

SBD (ShnID = 3908)
Perfectly balanced and flawless DSBD recording and perfect transfer
by David Gans.

AUD (ShnID = 82801)
Great sounding above average AUD. Nice balanced sound and a clean
transfer. Approx 30 seconds missing in Sugaree, Let Mikey Sing and
approx 15 seconds of Drums.

Patch (ShnID = 3325)
Nice sounding FOB that has a few spots that are overloaded. In the
end I found that using the other AUD source alone in the mix resulted
in a better outcome. Fortunately this source was able to patch the
cuts found in the primery AUD recording. Patch was used for the above
AUD source in Sugaree, Let Mikcey Sing and Drums.

Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble the
tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & synch both
sources (time compress and expand).  SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting
on the LFE and CTR channels.  SF8.0 used to adjust the volume for the
center, surround and LFE channels.  SF8.0 was used to perform the hard
limiting on the LFE channel.  Surcode MLP was used to encode all six
channels utilizing a lossless compression scheme. DiscWelder was used
to author and create the DVD-Audio in 5.1 and created the ISO image
file.  This incorporates 6 channels of 16/44 wave files.

Notes

Most between song tuning/crowd cheer was missing on the SBD source
as well as a few spots on the AUD sources. As usual, a trememdous
effort was made to have the between song flow sound as smooth and
natural as possible. Several techniques were used to do this
including volume adjustments, crossfades and borrowing crowd cheers
from other portions of the recording.

Track 2 "Sugaree" approx 30 seconds missing - patch with ShnID = 3325)

Track 4 "Let Mickey Sing Chant" missing - patch with ShnID = 3325)

Track 14 "Drums" approx 30 seconds missing - patch with ShnID = 3325)
