- Notes -
In order to fit the show onto a single 80 min CDR, I've edited dead air out of several tracks; Substituting in the alternates (eg t01a, t03a, and so on) will result in an audio CDR that ought to give a seamless listening experience. If you don't intend to burn a CDR, the alternates can simply be discarded.
