Item #31 from John Cipollina's collection

MSR? > Teac X-300R 1/4 R2R playback > unknown model HHB CDRW/0 > unknown drive extraction (Easy CD-DA Extractor) > tracking (CD Wave) > CD/1 (Easy CD Creator) > Plexwriter PX-W4824A extraction (EAC v0.9 beta 4) > sector boundary verification (shntool v1.01) > level 8 FLAC encoding (Flac Frontend v1.7.1 etree edition).  EAC >> FLAC by jjoops.

Notes:
- Cipollina's reels are believed to be masters, but this is not 100% certain, hence the question mark.  There is some occasional crackling (e.g., d2t03), and a few ticks in d2t03, and levels could be a bit higher, but generally this stuff sounds very nice.
- The material is really more "rehearsals" than outtakes, and it is both excellent (if you like "Edward", that is) and a lot of fun.  I have just thrown together these track listings as a rough guide.  None of these is a complete version of the tune, I don't think, but generally just practicing particular bits and pieces.
- Note I accidentally gave track names with "1968" rather than 1969.  I manually edited the wav md5s after the fact, and also the flac filenames.  If there are any problems with wav md5 verification, that's probably why.

Thanks to the generous provider of this wonderful material!

 Cipollina's reel was labeled "Corte Madera Rehearsal with Dino Valenti 1969." Exact date is unknown. What is known is that Gary Duncan offically returned to Quicksilver on stage on Dec. 31 1969. After being gone a year, he also brought in Dino Valenti. This is likely a rehearsal a short time before that night. So a best guess, for now at least, is
also Dec. 1969.

 Also of an Unknown generation, but very likely Cipollina's reel was a 1st generation, or perhaps even the master reel itself! Very little hiss, but some static problems, but they were on Cipollina's reel. These are NOT diginoise.

 Any questions may be emailed to me, Tom S., at amellowsoul@happyhippie.com
