For each source, I joined the tracks together and moved the track index to the beginning
of the next tune, leaving the dialog at the end of the previous one. Plenty of dropouts
were corrected by pasting over the other channel, and in the case of disc 2, the left
channel was normalized to match the right one. Disc 2 is a European bootleg LP called
“One Night Stand”, confusingly similar to the title of the radio broadcast on Disc 1,
though they are unrelated. On that disc, clicks and pops were removed by hand in
some spots, and in dialog portions, Adobe Audition’s noise reduction software was used
on a light setting. My CD-R of the Port Stanley segment lists the tracks as being from
’72, though MF refers to the ‘Live at Jimmy’s’ album (released in ’74), which makes me
think this must be from ’74 since he wouldn’t be referring to an album that didn’t’ yet
exist. The origin of disc 3 is unknown, but all the MF experts I’ve spoken to are sure that
none of this material has ever been released on a legit LP or CD.

Personnel, or at least soloists, are introduced by MF in some cases, and in others
is unknown. I’ll let the MF scholars figure out that part.
