Total Time ::: 19:07

::: EXC stereo outs now improved, but you gotta pick yr version. Check samples for bring me down or blast me up potential.
::: Warts: Repaired dullspots but surely missed a few. In general, very smooth sailing.
::: This set of outs is quite cool, as it's more of a concept piece than the original upload of this material (now referred to as "Outtakes I"), with songs segued (mixed) from one to the next. Songs are different lengths & mixes than "Outtakes I" & this also has an added song. "Outtakes I" still highly recommended, as it's better quality & a different presentation of this EXC material.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: See above. Even songs that are the "same" as the ORIGINAL "Outtakes I" upload are slightly different mixes & the remastering is different. The original "Outtakes I" can be found elsewhere.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is a remastered version of the original "Outtakes II" upload by traink, which can be found elsewhere.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is the Mk2 remaster version WITH EQ for brightening & bass reduction: The Mk1 version remastered without EQ can be found elsewhere.
::: While remastering this, I decided to also do an Mk2 version with EQ after a number of comparisons with the "Outtakes I" set that traink so generously shared with us. The sound on 'Outtakes II') was EXC but slightly muffled & bass heavy. The Mk2 version of 'Outtakes II' isn't brightened up nearly as much as the first batch, but just enough that it is more enjoyable (for me) & I took out a bit of the bass overload.
::: Original uploader, traink, noted: "I found a new Booger Band Tape from the same session with an unknown song & different mixes & takes from the one which is still up on Dime. It�s a Dat tape direct from the Reel to reel tape... and it sounds awesome."

Recording Information ::: recording studio -> master stereo reel to reel (really master? seems lesser quality than "Outtakes I" version) -> Ampex DAT Tape 467 R-94 -> wav -> flacs.

Remastering 2016-03-xx ::: flacs -> TLH -> wavs -> Audacity [manual one-at-a-time dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, +0.8% averaged pitch (speed) fix with single pass after frequency analysis & with pitchpipe verification, WITH equalisation, no noise reduction] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2016-07-30. (Offset correction not really possible as it seems to have so many effects that the offset is part of the sound. pitch varied slightly).

Will Boulware - Hammond B3, E-Piano, piano, vocals // Ted Trombetta - guitars, vocals // Joel Maloney - drums, vocals.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 304 ::: MANY! thanks to the original taper & trader, DIMER traink ::: Corrections welcome ::: I find this band very groovy, but perhaps it's partly my Southern upbringin'. There is a LOT to like about the trax. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees

Song title notes: #02 was received as "Feel The Pain" but since the only officially released version, a cover by Atlanta band Hydra, was titled "Feel A Pain" on their debut album, it seems likely that's the correct name. I created the song titles for #03 & 05 for the original "Outtakes I", both with question marks, based on lyrics. They appeared here in "Outtakes II" with the same titles, but no question marks. I assume they are still unconfirmed, as is #06, which surfaces for the first time here on this set. I split the last song into 2 tracks, as the last minute or so sounds like a fragment from something else.
::: A little more comparison info: #03. "Are You Leavin'?" (essentially same as Outs I - different mix & fade?) // #04. ? (instrumental) (essentially same as Outs I-#06 except different fade, so slightly shorter) // 05. Someone Help Me (essentially same as Outs I - different mix & fade?).
