I did not want to edit this too much because these are rought cuts and the
flaws are part of the character. Instead, I tried to note them. Only minor
editing was performed as described above. Additionally, I did take out a few
of the small segments of silence between tracks. I did not make any adjustments
to the levels.

Enjoy!!

Discs were kindly provided by Stu Hanson who comments below:

These copies kick the sh*t out of the versions circulating from those
Unsurpassed Masters bootleg CDs. These derive from a 3.75ips reel belonging
to Sandy Troy with two additional tracks supplied by a 7.5ips reel belonging
to Alan Bershaw.

Sandy's reel has all the material that has circulated before and its likely
that many of the copies out there trace back to this reel. We *think* this
material derives from the original 8 track studio sessions (that were
abandoned in favor of using the first 16 track, which had just become
available in 1969.)

The two cuts from Alan's reel, Rosemary & Mountains Of The Moon, sound like
the same versions recorded for the album, but they seem to be only Garcia's
acoustic guitar and vocal tracks, without all the overdubs. They are
definitely not to be confused with the earlier mixes that were originally
released on the 1969 version of the album. These two tracks have not
circulated widely. They are both excellent quality and very beautiful!
