Growing up near Princeton, this show was one of the first dead tapes
I ever heard. My copy was probably S:RCCCCCCCCCCC but I loved it anyway.
I later received a much better copy (sounded like 2-3 analog gens) with
a really lame flip at 45 minutes (aka middle of King Bee).

When I first got my DAT deck, a kind soul (thanks Mike) spun me a copy
of the set. This copy had a cut in Lovelight but beat the analogs any
day.I finally found a copy without the infamous cut in Lovelight and
decentlevels to boot.

Since this set was worth the trouble of getting
different copies at least 5 times, I figured that I'd distribute it
further than it has been until now.

The lineage of these files is:
Main: S:R?
Dub: S:RPD
Both DATs were downsampled into my computer via ZA2 (48>44.1)

The Main tape sounds much better than the dub - which is only used
for 1.1 seconds (want to find it? Listen to the last time the guys
say "the blues" in Bobbi McGee)
Given the differences in the reel flip (at the end of lovelight)
I would guess that the 'Main' tape represents a separate A>D transfer
than the 'Dub' tape. If you know more, I'd love to hear about it.

This tape is NOT an A+, healy master to DAT, multi-track remix,
96bit A>D conversion. This is from a reel made in 1971, so you will
hear some rough bits. To the best of my knowledge, this transfer
represents the best circulating copy in existence.

Tracking notes:
I altered the track numbering of shnid=122 (2nd set) to reflect a
three disc compilation.

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.
