I received this in a trade years ago as 2 CDR's, but upon closer inspection it was actually 2 different shows, 2 sides of a cassette that was running too fast. This is my first attempt at shifting/fixing the pitch, so it may not be correct, but it sounds closer to reality than it did. It's also an incomplete recording. I don't know how much is missing from the end. 2019-01-19 - Funk It Blog
