| Tech Note | -- FLAWS EXIST, AND ARE NOTED BELOW (none are flaws of the digital domain) --
Source:
SBD -> Cassette Master -> DAT
Scarcity:
An alternate source of this show circulates, though it is partial: missing Oh Kee Pah
and Suzy; first set ends after Mockingbird. Also, this source has a TON of high-end
roll-off (or NR) applied to it, making the buzz seem like bad tape hiss and also making
the recording very bassy and devoid of high end. (Thanks Ben!)
Bill's RCA SBD patch was given to him as a friend of Page; apparently, no other SBD patches were given.
There are no known AUDs of this show. Kindly let me know if you have one, or know of one.
Transfer and Lineage Detail:
Cassette mastered (by Bill H.) on an unknown "vintage 80s 3-head Nak deck (not a DR-1)" ->
Maxell XL-II cassette ->
Played back by a Nak DR1 deck ->
Recorded to DAT on Sony R500 DAT w/SBM* (by Clay Ellwood) ->
Cloned on Sony R500 + Tascam DA20 MKII @ 48KHz ->
Jeff Ishaq's (my) first gen DAT clone ->
Playback on Fostex D5 ->
optical cable -> HOSA ODL-276 -> coax cable ->
Waveterminal 2496, hardware downsampling to 44.1KHz ->
CoolEdit 2000 (noise reduction and fixes done here) ->
CDWave 1.6 > WAV > mkwACT 0.97b1 > SHN v3
*: SBM is Super Bit Mapping, a Sony 16-bit to 20-bit upsampling algorithm.

Noise Reduction notes:
There was a terrible high-pitched buzz that ran from [start -> d1t08 08:23] and [d1t10 01:58 -> end]. I applied a notch filter in Cool Edit 2000 to these two passages to reduce the noise, the downside of which was a slight attenuation in the high-end such as cymbal/high-hat. I think this recording was a little heavy on the high-end anyway, so perhaps this wasn't a downside after all -- you be the judge: you can hear the notch filter kick in again at d1t10 01:58.
I also manually removed numerous pops, the exact locations of which are at the end of this info file.

d1t10 01:55 -> 01:57, crackle/static
d1t11 00:11.423 -> 00:11.484 three very short (< .03 sec) dropouts, sounds like one
d2t06 04:15.892 -> 04:16.513 00.62-sec faded d/o (tapeflip?)
