Total Time ::: 21:32
::: EXC SBD quality, now improved. Check samples for quality control or direct injections.
::: Warts: None to speak of. Not the most well-miked instrument job ever done but it's just fine.
::: The upgraded second version was used for this remaster.
::: A "Broadside of Boston" article from January 6, 1965 was titled, "Judy Collins, Eric Andersen, Dick and Mimi Fari�a To Do Benefit" & stated money collected would be used to pay legal fees facing 11 students under indictment by the State Department for defying the travel ban which had been placed on visiting certain countries.
::: Sorry, but I didn't tackle the Judy Collins & Eric Andersen sets. The pitch is probably easy, but the other repairs take a lot of time.
Recording Information ::: [*probably] pre-FM SBD -> master mono reel -> CD-R -> Peak Pro (for tracking) -> flacs.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
DimeTravel 098 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! Hat's off to DIMER wolfsoncary, the original uploader - MUCH obliged! ::: Corrections welcome ::: I loved this set when I downloaded it, but the off-speed thing bugged me, as Mimi's voice can't afford to be pitched up - even a little bit & she starts to take on a Dolly Parton tinge I can't deal with. Been meaning to get around to working on it for a while. Turned out there were lots of small blemishes that were fixable or could be improved. I think it came out real fine. One of the finest duos to ever take to the stage. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
Do whatever you want with it except sell it, 'cause that ain't cool!
