As for the volume 10, we received this one from The Caretaker after the preparations for this series had already been finished; so this new volume does not come in the chronological order, but as an another appendix (but who will complain?)
I re-equilibrated the channels by adding 40% more on the right channel. Then I amplified the sound with + 6 db.
There were horrid gaps between 5 & 6 and between 6 & 7 now there is a fade in/out instead.
I reworked the transitions between the tracks, now they begin with the song.
I upgrade the beginning and the end of the cdr with a fade in/out.
Last but not least, I used one of the great pics from �The Caretaker� (another big thank you for these!!!) for the artwork and, for the first time, I used another one to create an inlay cover.
Note the sound quality is perhaps not fantastic but what an enthusiasm in this music! Can you listen to it without move your feet?. This is a special dedication to the late Jack Bruce, who is especially fantastic here!
