This recording was originaly in mono, and since the right channel was slightly distorted, it was discarded and the left channel used instead.

Editing notes: Two songs were cut due to, first, a reel change and, second, a cassette tape flip. Track 12 was repaired by removing 8.6 seconds (mostly silence) at 51 seconds into the song. It's probably missing one verse. Track 15 was repaired by cloning a similar passage (about 15 seconds), beginning at about 34 seconds into the song.

No noise reduction software has been used on this recording. Slight EQ was applied to reduce mid-range muddiness.
