Notes This is from Bill Gadsden:

All of the Matrix material, 10/8/68, 11/10/68, 10/30/68, 12/16/68, 12/24/68,
7/30/70, and 12/15/70 was copied by yours truly and my taping partner, Peter
Kafer, in 1974 from 7" 1/4 track reels that we borrowed from Peter Abram,
proprietor of the Matrix. We copied it all onto Maxell reels @ 7 1/2 ips.
The stuff I just sent you was copied from those Maxell reels directly to CD
using an Alesis Masterlink, sampling @ 24 bit, 96k. I played the reels on a
Revox B77.

The question mark with regard to the lineage is whether Abram's 2-tracks
were copies of 4-track masters, or were masters themselves. I suspect the
former, but never asked him and have no evidence other than what I've read
in various Dead-related postings here and there.

I hope we can put to rest the confusion about the 10/10 sets; they are
reversed in Deadlists and Lovelights, as you can tell from my copy, is just
a continuation of that jam that comes before.

This show was distributed through Charlie Miller's "Matrix Tree"
