share freely, losslessly and gaplessly

notes:
This show was recorded from about a third of the way back from the stage, center,
using a mono Panasonic cassette recorder and Maxell cassettes.
The recording was digitized from the master cassettes in the early 21st century.
The digitized recording was later converted to true mono by replacing the weaker channel
with a copy of the stronger channel.
a previously circulated copy of this show (maybe from a different recording?)
had just 84 minutes of it recorded.
this one is apparently complete, and has considerably more than that.
