Tape provided by a person who attended the show. He acquired it in
the early 90's either via one of the GD Bulletin Boards active at the
time or through Relix magazine. It was his understanding that his
tape (the one digitized here) was a second generation (MC > C >
his tape). It is difficult to confirm the validity of that now,
though it certainly sounds clean enough to be true.
EAC'd and SHN'd by Noah Weiner (noahbw@attbi.com), January, 2003
A non-tracked CD was burned direct from the cassette. Soundforge
was used for normalizing and track balancing, as well as track IDs
(SBE fixed with SHNTOOL). Nothing was done to edit the tape glitches
and dropouts. It seemed that the raw tape, as a historical document,
worked best as is, than with "improvements." There is occasional
over-saturation that could not be "improved" upon either.

notes: There is a brief (5 seconds) Frozen Logger just before China
Cat Sunflower. Before New Speedway Boogie the taper(s) can be heard
trying to improve things (moving closer, etc..). Then during the
song Sam Cutler can be heard first trying to buy the tape from the
tapers, then moments later demanding that they shut down completely.
