| Tech Notes | Source & notes on Polar Bear boot: Name: Baby James By The Bay Catalog: The Polar Bear Records (PB-107) Source: Soundboard (Original 'silver' cd) Equipment List: DAE UltraPlex 40max>EAC (secure, offsets) .shn conversion with MKW Additional Comments on show: From Blue Fish A great soundboard recording. Polar Bear Records claims that this is a Warner Brothers official recording that was initially going to be released as a live album but was instead replaced by another studio album. The quality is fantastic and James puts on a very good performance. There are a few fades between songs but that is all there really is to complain about. I'm not sure how much this show has been circulated but it will make a great addition to any James Taylor collection. Overall, a definite must have!! ljs_54 remaster notes: I started with the Polar Bear bootleg, Baby James By The Bay, which I received in a mail trade years ago, but I used the copy which was seeded to either STG or BT EZ or both. Back when the bootleg was seeded, someone noted the bootleg contained an incomplete show which was missing 6 songs. A BT EZ seeder, whose user name I don't remember, supplied the "missing 6 songs". Both sources are outlined in the notes below. I took both sets of shn files and decompressed them to wav. I ran them through cool edit pro 2.0 to take care of any glitches, amplify the volume overall where necessary, and to amplify some of James banter which you couldn't hear. I then recombined the whole show into one wav file and tried to ease the track transitions and patch in the missing songs as well as I could. Although I was tempted to use some hiss reduction, especially on the missing songs, in the end I decided not to. I then split the wav into tracks in cdwav renaming them with song titles and I split the discs after the last "missing tracK", Country Road. It seemed to be a good break point. I then compressed the tracks into flac making sure there were no sbe's. To do this half right, it always takes more hours than one thinks, but I think it came out ok, as I'm no pro. I have included a reel cover of the original reel #1 supplied by Greg B. of jamestaylorweb.com, which is pretty cool. Polar Bear Records stole Greg's work and issued the bootleg as you can read in Greg's notes below. Compress to mp3 for your own personal use but please DO NOT trade it as mp3's, DO NOT sell this recording, and DO NOT put this up on Ebay. Thanks and enjoy. ljs_54 2005-12-03 Complete Setlist: Disc 1: 01-Sweet Baby James 02-Something In The Way She Moves 03-Greensleeves 04-Tube Rose Snuff Commercial 05-Sunny Skies 06-Chili Dog 07-Rainy Day Man ***Beginning OF Missing Songs*** 08-Riding On a Railroad 09-Places In My Past 10-Carolina On My Mind 11-Long Ago & Far Away w/ Carole King 12-Blossom 13-Country Road ***End of Missing Songs*** Disc 2: 14-Highway Song 15-On Broadway 16-Fire And Rain 17-Love Has Brought Me Around 18-Whoa, Don't You Know 19-Steamroller Blues 20-Help Me Find This Groove 21-Promised Land > Pre Encore Applause 22-You Can Close Your Eyes |
