Recording lineage

Sony mono cassette recorder -> cassette(m)
Recorded on a C120, so fits nicely onto 2 CDs - by the time I got a second tape in the recorder, 'Jersey Girl' was finished, so it'll have to be left with a fade....

Playback / encoding lineage

Cassette(m) on Technics Cassette Deck -> Alesis Masterlink @ 44.1kHz, 16-bit (track splits, fades, level adjust) -> CDR -> EAC to .wav -> TLH to .flac
TLH sez no SBEs

* - To cover the track split at a tape flip here, track 15 was patched in from another tape of this show
Some microphone break-up in places, but not too intrusive
This show is presented in glorious mono.

Recording lineage

Unknown recorder, probably Panasonic -> cassette(0) -> copied to Cassette(1)

Playback / Encoding lineage

Technics Cassette Deck -> Alesis Masterlink @ 44.1kHz, 16-bit (track splits, level increase, and patch in track 15)
-> CDR -> EAC to .wav -> TLH to .flac
TLH sez no need to fix SBEs - files already sector-aligned
