Mystery Box notes:
My vinyl rip of The Mystery Box (NT&B 8603-8612)

Tested for sbe's. Re-tracked to what I think makes sense and only some minor editing of the more egregious snap, crackle, pop of the vinyl. Records are in pretty good shape actually.
I've revised the Dates & Locations from the notes on the back of the box. Perhaps not 100% accurate but more so.
Scanned artwork and record labels included.
