| Tech Note | There are several masters to this show, of varying quality and
completeness. I had seven different CDRs made from low-generation cassettes
(dating back to the 70s and 80s) of the different masters. I also considered the
previously circulating MC>C>D>CD of the Dead set, but ended up using none of it
since there are just tons of hiss on that one.
The following sources were used in this compilation:
set one:
source A - low-gen reel > C > CDR
source B - MC > C > CDR; different master than source A
Wow Wow Hey Hey 1:30 tape warbles; 7:09 tape cut.
Jam (d1t11) 0:37 and 0:40 tape cuts.
set two:
source C - low-gen cassette > CDR
source B - MC > C > CDR, patch only, inferior sound than source C
beginning through Take It All Off 1:13 is from source A, the rest
is from source B except for Take It All Off 3:53 through 0:20 of Mona,
which were missing on source B and have been spliced in from source A.
Smokestack Lightning 11:40 through 12:08 spliced in from source B.
... there are doubtlessly more of these unavoidable anomalies.
A few "pause button" cracklings have been smoothed.
Some careful EQ'ing has been applied to remove some of the high freq tape hiss.
Playin' In The Band and Lovelight are both missing their beginnings.
There is only one known AUD master which supplies these songs, and even
anything from Bertha onwards.
Black-Throated Wind, Deal, Good Lovin' and Casey Jones, though present in
Deadlists, are completely missing.
Only 'How Sweet It Is', 'Are You Lonely For Me'
assembled by H.B. 2/02 - 4/02
a thousand thanks to Uli Teute for all the tapes. |
