Thelma Theater, Los Angeles, December 10, 11 & 12, 1969

Copies from the soundboard reels of these shows have circulated since the '70s,
sometimes mislabled "Kaleidoscope Theater, LA," often with dates and sequences mixed
up, usually in badly degraded sound quality. This set assembles complete copies of
the 11th and the 12th in the best quality circulating. Except for the middle portion
of the 11th, sound is excellent throughout; this inferior segment is listenable while
leaving definite room for improvement if an upgrade shows up; we haven't been able to
find one & don't want to delay further.

Many people gave help on the way to creating this set of CDs. Dave Greenberg did the
final masters. Jack Warner was instrumental in providing the difficult composite for
the 2nd disc of 12/11/69, which was first mastered by Scott Clugston. RB, KW, JN
and HB also provided important assistance. Jim Powell instigated the project and
writes these notes. SHN conversion by Jay Gerland.

Tracking notes:
The tracking listed in the original text was way out of sync with the actual tracks.
This was corrected. The above tracking is now accurate.

Flac encoding notes:
All processing with Trader's Little Helper
Shn - st5 generated
Shn > Flac ( level 8 )
Flac - st5 generated and matched to Shn st5

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected.
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
