Note: There is an 11-second splice from the radioshark source at 8:23 into Track 5 to repair a gap due to a required media change.

There are numerous relatively minor glitches throughout that were inherent in the FM broadcast as well as the online mp3 stream. For example, there is an audible hiccup about 56 seconds into Track 3 that could not be repaired. This recording is sourced from the FM broadcast.

A notch filter was applied to reduce the obnoxious high-frequency squeal that was present in the FM broadcast.
