draftervoi's notes:
Hans de Vente digitized his FM recording of a Todd Rundgren 1977-11-11 show from a Dutch radio station in the Summer of 2014. There was already a circulating version of a tape recorded by Dan Lampinski from an American radio station. Hans' tape has better audio quailty, but the first song cuts in during the first chorus, the start is missing.

The two versions also seems to have slightly different ambience; Hans tape has slightly wider stereo separation (to my ears...).

I chaptered and normalized Hans' tracks and did some other minor editing (removed a few pops, made the between song edits less jarring by getting the volume levels closer to each).

I have set this up so you have several options for dealing with the problem with the first track:

1: I've included the unedited Hans de Vente tape version of Trapped, which cuts in after the song has started.
2: I made a version of Trapped (file 01b) that edits together the Lampinski and de Vente versions.
3: The unedited Lampinski version of Trapped (file 01c), so you can do the edit yourself if you find my edit to be too jarring. If you don't like it, do you yourself! :)
4: The original American DJ intro (file 00) from the Lampinski tape, to be included or discarded as you see fit. If you include it, you get a show introduced in English and with the show credits in Dutch.
