~~ from low gen AUD tape copy (lolive) ~~

Comparison between different copies of the same master source in Samples has revealed that this lolive version is the best sounding of all versions and nearly the most complete around each of the tape flip spots and other cuts, common to all copies.

Portions left missing here have been included from two other copies: boguspomp (start 2nd set & More Trouble Every Day) and robsam-doctorzap (micro-patches to digital glitches in The Torture Never Stops Medley)
