Notes **This was 4th time I've RM'd this one, the other three I considered to be unworthy to share. Who says I don't care about quality?**

This saw some serious work, it's basically been broken down and rebuilt. The final, at first listen, won't seem that dramatic a difference to the casual listener, but trust me, it's been improved.

Now fixed:

1. A slight DC offset. Very hard to see, actually not quite there to the naked eye, but staring at the waveform for a moment and something wierd caught my eye. I scanned it and it had a very slight offset.

2. Out-of-sync Word clock "ticks". Every few seconds, that tiny little "click".

3. It was a hissy bee-yatch.

4. Thin, no depth at all.

5. Tracking and info's were completely wrong. 20 songs listed, 22 actual files (I added an additional track as well, see below).

Taking all that in, one wonders what the hell happened to it on the way to becoming shared data. DC offsets are common, but word clock error "blips" are not. Someone tried to do the right thing in doing a digital transfer, but apparently didn't understand the importance of proper sync techniques. And a quick look shows no other "surfaced" versions of it, so this is what we have.

This is easily the most processing I've ever done to a show, but it needed it. I've enjoyed listening to it, so I believe it's now worthy to share.

I edited nothing, except to extract the last song from the end of Silverfuck. Often listed as "Zoom", it's a better description than tagging it as an ending to Silverfuck and calling it "Space Jam". It's clearly a song all unto itself, let us respect it as one, a pretty cool rockin' tune at that!
