Cosmic Charlie A very good mono audience recording supplies the first ~75 minutes of this show, up until the final verse of Dark Star. The recording was stopped in between most songs, and only the first few notes of a few songs are clipped. A somewhat degraded SBD supplies the rest of the show. There are several small portions of this SBD that have level/channel problems. Sound Forge was used for editing: slight pitch correction for both sources, smoothing cuts, patching dropouts, normalizing, and removal of many pops that were present on the SBD portion, presumably from a PCM transfer. Notes: ---d/o @ 0:55 in Me & My Uncle patched with SBD ---d/o @ 3:36 in Dark Star patched with SBD ---splice @ 5:20 of The Eleven ---splice in Good Lovin' @ 5:45 during drum solo ---channel fluctuations at end of Good Lovin' ---channel problems for first 2:39 of Easy Wind ---right channel fluctuates at end of drums, just before O1 intro ---splice @ 5:30 of The Other One I believe the SBD was mastered on cassette, though most lineages seem to be listed as a reel master. The frequent mix problems, varying pitch/speed, and lack of trademark reel-to-reel zip-outs during cuts strongly support this being a cassette master. thanks to Paul Bottiglio & Jack Warner edits/encoding by J.
