BOMBDIGGITY REMASTER OF KINEBEE DIME POST

This remains not without issue but seems considerably better than before.

This was first posted as Freddie Hubbard, which it is, but only in part.

originally billed as The Great Quartet, a variation on this lineup featured in each city of
the 1982 Kool Jazz Festival multi-city extravaganza.

We do know the set from Washington DC (first of that year) featured Elvin Jones instead of
Tony Williams, since it was kindly posted to DIME by carville, on behalf of DC.

KineBEE took a shot at fixing this set up and thoughtfully also included his raw files, which
I used to get this more in order.

The levels on the discs KineBEE got were extraordinarily low. I boosted them almost 17 DB.
It didn't really pick up any noticeable hiss on my cheap speakers at hand here so the low
levels must have happened at the digital stage, so this can fly as it now is.

Here's another from the snail-mail trade bin. I almost did not bother with this as it took
quite a bit of editing. None of this was tracked.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Most of the first song is marred by an odd repeating distortion (bad tape or bad reception?)
that seems a little less noticeable now.
Something is lost at the 45 minute tape flip, after which the reprise cuts in on a bass solo.
The end of the encore is missing.
