Notes I downloaded the previous transfer (claims DAT>CDR) of this soundcheck thinking that
it would be an upgrade to my copy. Imagine my surprise when it wasn't! That transfer
has some badly audible noise reduction (which has no place in a standard release
anyway) and someone had very obviously removed a lot of the bass. The bass as well as
the muffled sound were my favorite parts of this recording - you can easily imagine
yourself in a huge, empty arena hiding under some seats trying not to get caught.

The bass does get a little overbearing at times, especially at one point in WBFTT
and less so in a few sections of Silverfuck.

This is a DAT>ANA-2, from Dave Asselin's DAT>ANA-1, traded way back in the day. My
copy has a few clicks and pops in it, all of which are on my cassette and have nothing
to do with the transfer. I have no idea if they are on the original.

I would, of course, be more than happy to see a clean DAT transfer of this.

Any questions, comments - hbent@cs.oberlin.edu
