----------------------------------------------------------

- The Hamza set was not included with this source and has not
been spliced in.

- All tape pauses between tracks were cross faded.

- There are few glitches and dropouts present throughout.

- Right after Iko Iko, the left channel dropped down to darn
near nothing. Rather than splice in the soundboard, I was
able to lift the RMS and save it up to mid drums, from this
point on, there was not only the severe drop in the left
channel level, but some real heavy distortion became
present. Left with the options to either splice in the
soundboard or make a mono patch from the right channel, I
opted to make the mono patch and preserve the source as
best as I could. You can certainly hear the change.
Overall, all things considered, this is a very nice source,
my favorite show of the Egypt run.

- Some slight bass distortion and minor clicks present in the
mono patch.

- This source is also subject to what some call hiss, I
prefer analog warmth. Call it what you will :-)

- Ok, here is the story. Last week or so I was contacted by
a fellow LL'er named moon. He Pm'ed me and asked if he
could seed some new sources for the 9/14/15/16/1978 shows.
This really sparked my curiosity. The files were
transferred to my server to have a listen and look. After
listening myself, and asking other respected members of
the communities opinion, we came to the conclusion these
are new sources, I decided to have a go at just putting a
little polish on them, very little was done aside from the
above listed patches and a gain bump since the files were
provided at 16/44.1. The taper did all the transfer work
and passed this along anonymously, which he wishes to
remain and I will respect. The first set of this show was
taped on mic stands. After the first set, the taper was
asked to take them down, so he impromptu began to stealth
record the show, thus explaining the sonic changes, and
the lack of wind noise after the set break. Just as a
disclaimer here, I'm in no way shape or form declaring
this an upgrade, just an additional source these deserve
to circulate and I am happy to get this tapers work out
there. Take what you want and leave the rest.

- Thanks to the anonymous taper, bagsgroove, and moon for
helping get this to me and relaying information.

rest of the AUD1 source was in mono as bgreen explained

rest of space till end of Around and Around. The encore
(OMSN) remained in mono as no patch material was supplied

source and was filled in with audio from the AUD1 source.

Soundboard (1 seconds fast per minute). AUD2 was much
faster and ran about 4% fast compared to the Soundboard
(4 seconds fast per minutes).

Thanks again to Charlie Miller for supplying the uncirculate
patch material (AUD2) and Brion Green for transfering and
making available for this project.
