The original description by petercherman says: "A knowledgeable person informed me (in one of this torrent's earlier incarnations) that tracks 1 and 2 come from one radio broadcast, 3 and 4 another. Together, they form a seamless whole, well worth having." Various parts of the two Sindelfingen shows have been issued on several bootleg CDs. On his invaluable Miles Ahead website, Peter Losin states: "The Moon CD contains two medleys ("Autumn Leaves/Yoshua/The Theme" and "So What/Milestones/The Theme"). The first [should read: second] medley is actually a composite, with "So What" from the first concert spliced onto "Milestones" and "No Blues" from the second concert" (http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=641008).

As in many cases, the audio quality of these bootlegs can be improved quite a lot. Specifically, I applied varying amounts of phase correction, with a remarkable effect on the stereo image, narrowed the stereo image a little to compensate for the remaining shifts and unevennesses, levelled the volume, applied a small amount of noise reduction to the first two tracks and equalization (separate for the two channels) throughout. I also made some other small corrections, retracked all tracks and repaired a few glitches.
