I cleaned up a few bad edits, patched the left channel with the right for a few seconds in a couple of places and made a slight speed correction.

I did the editing, mastering (tweaking) and analog to digital transfer for this version of this show. Don’t add, change or remove any of these files. Please keep the text and md5 files unaltered, together with the FLAC’s.

Don’t rename directories or file names if you share this.

Don’t alter the sound of this recording. The T releases are not to be used as a source for anyones so called remastering projects. If you want to do something find a better quality recording of the show and work from that. Don’t just take what I have worked on and screw with it.

For Trade or Give Away only – Do not Sell – Do not encode as MP3 – MD or any other format which degrades the quality of the recording.
