Munichhilton's notes:
Huge thanks to the original taper that night in Baton Rouge ARH [aka OleManRivers] who was very excited to share this uncirculated alternate recording of the Who with other Who fans. All transferring done with precision and care...then handed over to the talented JimmyShelter for another great mastering job. All artwork included by JimmyShelter and some by Claude...

JimmyShelter's notes:
Mr. Hilton, you are so kind. But as I always say, 'you can't polish a turd', and a good recording and transfer makes the job a whole lot easier.
There were a few drop-outs on the RH channel mainly during I Can't Explain, patched using the good channel. There was also about 12 seconds missing just after the start of Won't Get Fooled Again, patched from an alternate source. I used iZotope to check/correct azimuth & phase then WaveLab to adjust levels, very slight EQing anhd to patch the bits just mentioned. TLH was used to fix SBE's, encode to FLAC(6) and create checksum files.

I aslo made some artwork and include some made from after8's generic artwork for those who want to use them.

This ARH master has never been digitised or circulated before.

And last but not least, a big thank you to ARH and Munich for involving me in this project, and sending me some great material to work with.

Long Live Rock!! Enjoy!!!
