Notes (April 2025):
-cut after track 4, at 07:52 of track 9 and after track 9
-it seems there is a tiny bit of audio missing at 0:00.5 of track 10
-the only edits I've made are removing digital gaps between tracks 6 and 7 (the original CD break)
and between tracks 9 and 10, and retracking those parts

-Ricola shared this recording in 2006, calling it "Excellent SBD direct from DAT Master, 1st Gen";
however, this clearly sounds like an audience recording and the spectrogram shows that cassette
is somewhere in the lineage
-my best guess is it was recorded on cassette and then perhaps transferred to DAT
-this would also be consistent with the timing of the tape cuts in the recording (for C90 tape)

-this version does not come from Ricola's share but from a different German trader via agalli
-the audio is very similar to Ricola's version so it's almost certainly from the same analog to
digital transfer but it's not identical - it may be a different DAT transfer
-Ricola split this show up between tracks 6 and 7 as if there was two sets, but this version
shows there was no set break
