Stereo AUD trade tape

Trade tape > Computer WAV > Cool Edit Pro 2000 > TLH v2.4.1 > FLAC 8 > DIME > you
Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader (jbk) who hooked me up with a copy.
I originally mastered this 2009-08-28.
The only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes from WAVs from this dub, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH; no CD-Rs or EACs.

NOTES

I've had the Spotlight & Shiny outtakes on constant rotation in my car & it's on my mind to get some more Beefy goodness out here.
Here's another stab at it - a nice mid-period show that really rocks.

There's little cuts between songs; usually I mark tracks to the start of the music, but for this I went with those gaps between the songs, when present.
It sounds like there's a cut / edit / tape munch during Owed T'Alex, and the sound is "stepped down a couple notches" for the next few songs.
Some of the tracks I marked as (CUT) may have a legit hack in it (like Owed), while on many others the original edit just misses the opening notes of the song.
Tho ya see CUT CUT CUT all over the place, PLUS there's the cuts between songs, it plays better than all those markings may lead ya to imagine.

HAIR PIE
Tho my original setlist scribble notes **DO NOT** note the presence of Hair Pie in this show (nor do some others), it's there on this tape.
There's an obvious edit before it starts, but not a "gap" like the taper did most everywhere else in the show.
I honestly don't know if it's legitimately part of this show or not - my gut says no, but I share it as I got it.
With the way this thing is hacked to pieces (I really hate that), it's hard to know unless ya had a legit low-gen source.
If you already have the show but not this "missing song", I'd suggest not snagging this just because of it.

A fine show in my book; standouts include Old Fart, Bat Chain, Veteran's & of course Big Eyed Beans.

I dunno about you, but when I hear stuff this old, I am REALLY grateful that people went and recorded things like this.
And I'm glad traders kept them going around long enough so I could get a copy many years later.

Filenames have numbers on the end that are the TIMES (ex. - "...-359" is 3min59sec long).

I mark the start of tracks when the music or count-in begins, not the talking about it before it starts.
