For some time now, I have been making “The Soundboard Archive” compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine.

This has been my methodology:

1. Choose a trade-friendly artist (= "not on Lossless Legs' & Dime's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my “SBD” flac/shn files for said artist.

2. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the “best” version. (This is subjective, I know – but I’m QUITE picky as far as “sound quality” goes.)

3. As needed, rename each chosen track.

4. Compile “the winners” into a “The Soundboard Archive” collection – after ensuring that NO included tracks have been officially released. (Each text file contains information about those shows/songs which had been officially released at the time of my compilation.)

ENJOY! Support the artist and buy the officially-released items!
