recorded and mastered to cdr by Sandy A. aka Bigfoot

lineage is an educated guess - no lineage is specified in Sandy's artwork for these discs

Single onstage mike > soundboard > (probably a Tascam DA-P1) > DAT master
transfer by Sandy A: digital out > Sek'd Prodif Plus > Sound Forge > CD Architect > cdrs

cdrs made by Sandy A given to Easy Ed > EAC > .wav files > Trader's Little Helper > flac files (level 8 align on sector boundaries), ffp and torrent files

How I decided that this was a single mike: I have seen The Jaybirds half a dozen times and they often play into a single mike and are quite adept at it. There are two pictures from the show on the cd booklet with the cdrs of this show that Sandy gave me. You can see the mike stand the band is singing and playing into has a single mike and also, a little lower, two mikes on a T bar. I had hoped that those two mikes were Sandy's Neumann KM254s and that they were the source of this recording, but looking at the .wav files in Sound Forge shows both channels to be identical - hence a mono recording, hence the single mike.
