Notes
Transferred by Richard Russell circa early 2002 using Ben Windham's masters.

This recording was spread over two tapes. The tape change occurred after Track 3, and the tape flip occurs in tape #2 at 3:54 into Track 9.

The first minute is slightly garbled due to tape deterioration.

No noise reduction or EQ was applied. However, there was significant wind-noise in the right channel, particularly in the last two songs. I used iZotope's repair tools to attenuate the noise, but there is still some residual noise in Tracks 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

About 5 seconds of applause (marred by significant wind noise) was removed from Track 6.
