Linton Kwesi Johnson
Thursday, May 10th, 1984
Coffee House - UC Davis
Davis, CA

Source: AUD > Cassette Master > ? > Cassette (Maxell XLII-S 90 / no dolby / copied on 1985-01-27) > 24/48 wav
mastering info: 24/48 wav > Adobe Audition 2026 (automatic phase correction / center-audio) > iZotope RX11 Advanced (eq, levels, voice-denoise, variable speed) > 24/48 wav > r8brain > 16/44 wav > tlh > 16/44 flac

Notes:
--- I don't usually use center-audio for stereo recordings, but there was multiple sections where the right channel drops out for a few times - lasting a few minutes (faulty mics?). Instead of mixing the audio down to mono, or just copying the left channel, I used center-audio to try to make everything seamless, and adjust the levels the best way that I can.
--- 0:34 of Di Black Petty Booshwah to the instrumental outro ran fast and was speed corrected: -.75 semitones to -.39 semitones
--- Thanks to Doug Rice (BFOQ) for the files
--- Thanks to the singers & players for existing
