Comments:
The first 3 discs represent a fresh transcription of one of Jim Powell's cassettes
to DAT>WAV>SHN. The previously circulated source sounds has some excessive NR
somewhere in the lineage and also looks like it has compression on visual inspection
of the waveform.

While this new source is VERY VERY hissy, the high end is preserved and this is to
my ears an upgrade.
Its also an upgrade because:
- no dropout in LLR
- no dropout in BEW
- Bertha is complete - yes its the same Bertha that starts out on the other
circulating copy- not a splice.
- encore placed at the end of disc 1 to prevent from burning a 1 song 5th disc.

Flaws:
d1t01 - Promised Land cuts in at "train ticket" as on other sources.
d1t08 - Splice at 02:27 as on other sources.
d3t01 - Playing cuts in at "once again now", as on other sources.
d3t01 - small dropout at 08:23 and 09:24 with redundant overlap fixed using SF6.
d4t01 - He's Gone - 0:00 to 0:25 beginning patched from higher gen source
d4t04 - The Other One - dropout @ 12:06 patched from higher gen source
d4t07 - Sugar Magnolia - dropouts @ 7:35 to 7:42 & 7:57 to 8:06 patched from higher gen source

Cassette > DAT transfer by Jim Powell:
Nakamichi DR-2 cassette deck > Tascam DA-30 Mk II.

DAT > WAV recording/editing>SHN by Chris Ladner:
DAT(Sony PCM-R500) > coaxial S/PIDF > M Audio Audiophile 2496/P4 2.0 GHz >
WAV recording/editing (Soundforge 6.0) > tracking (CDWave editor) >sector boundaries
confirmed (shntool) > SHN (mkwact).

Disc 4 and the encore are from previously circulated SHN set by Bottiglio and Minches
(http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=7270) with matching md5s except for
d4t07 with had a sector boundary error that I fixed.

another installment of TMNSP, 7/04.

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.
