The sound is very good indeed for an audience recording of the time - little intrusion from the audience, no distortion, clean sound - it just lacks some treble, presence and clarity.

This is a repair to this torrent - http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=184767

I haven't changed the sound, just realigned the tracks - some were several tracks together, other single tracks were divided in two...

Deciding where one song ends and another starts is not an exact science here - they seem to slow down at the end of many tracks, and then move into the next one, so I've started tracks not necessarily when the tempo changes, but with the momentum as the new one starts to show itself recognisably. I also faded out at the end of one CD and in at the start of the next, without losing any sound (ie there's overlap - if you're putting this onto a single uninterrupted format, they can be edited back together seamlessly).
