Total Time ::: 35:21

::: Superb quality. Check samples for earburn or earjoy (almost certainly the latter).
::: Warts: NONE excepting brevity! Repaired the few dullspots I heard but possibly missed a few.
::: DJ talks over the first note or so of the beginning of Parts 1 & 2, so traxsplits are a little odd.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is the Mk2 24bit/96kHz high quality version. The CD burnable Mk1 44,1 kHz version may be found elsewhere.
::: Incomplete show but complete 2 part after the fact radio broadcasts. Part 1 #01-03a. Part 2 #03b-06.
::: #1 intro'd by DJ as �Take The Water, Take The Wine� (actually originally "Take The Water") but the taper believes by '97 Stan always intro'd it as "C.S. Opera".
::: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notodden_Blues_Festival has more Festival info & complete '97 line-up.
::: Chicken Shack line-up #24 (according to Wikipedia) - around from 1993-1998.

DimeTravel 285 ::: MANY thanks to the original taper & trader, DIMER hyarar, for tapin' & transferrin'! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Like so many fine musicians of this era, it's gettin' to be that I've been cruising with Stan for most of my life. Bought all his albums on vinyl & then worked well into the CD world, replacing old ones & buying the new. Other than some crappy brickwalling, it's been a real fine ride - so hats off to Stan The Man. Thanks for all the years/ears o' pleasure. Here's another round for those o' you who feel the same. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
