We're very happy to offer nearly all of this show in 'better' sounding quality now,
after Yojimbo has successfully managed to secure the previously missing remaining part of it from his trading partner. Thanks for that, Jon !

Only a few missing parts left in the final part of the show (Punky's Whips to San Berdino)
had to be patched with material from the inferior sounding version, where available.
Single source purists will find the entire last part of this recording (unpatched) in an extra subfolder, included with this seed.
