Editing Notes

The first 52.5 seconds of this recording is from a rebroadcast (DAT) the next day, April 13, 2003. About half of this recording (the next 32:44) is from the DAT source of the original broadcast of April 12, 2003, and the remaining half (32:03) is from the VHS capture of the same day. (The DAT recording ran out of tape.)

I used a 12.4-second splice from the 4/13 rebroadcast at 10:02 into Track 2 (So Damn Good) to restore a passage that had been interrupted by a radio DJ announcement

I also used a 21.5-second splice from the 4/13 rebroadcast just prior to track 10 (Bad News) to again restore a passage interrupted by a station announcement.
