This has never been on Traders Den.

On the original upload, "The Thrill Is Gone" was spread over a tape flip and was left as 2 tracks.

Fortunately, there was a repeated section on side B. I was able to combime the overlapped portion and seamlessly piece it back together as 1 track.

I created 2 additional tracks for the band introductions and fanfare outro.

I also made some slight volume adjustments and re-tracked some of the songs.

I added song titles for the 2 instrumentals, along with removing 2 silent gaps.

There are no tape cuts in this new upload.

This is a slight improvement over the original posting and should be the best version available now.
