J-Card Comment This was recorded within a church on a Sunday morning during an unamplified show... the only instruments plugged in were the microphones themselves. Quality is, to my ears at least, nothing short of excellent but you can judge for yourself via the commented sample (I chose an audience participation song to give a sense of their presence and input). Mary's voice is in good form for the hour of the day though I think I can hear that she has been working it hard the days/nights before, but maybe that's my imagination, you be the judge. Taped by the Cuban Hillbilly hissownself, he sent me a raw copy not long after the event and I subsequently asked for and received permission to remaster. Now this was almost 5 years ago and I didn't take notes or anything like that so I can only guess that I did some simple levels smoothing as well as indexing, etc... nothing major. I've since heard on the grapevine that there are some inferior copies of this show out and about but I've never heard one so I can't compare. There were a few brief hot spots when Mary's voice clipped the levels and if you look closely/carefully with a sound editor you will see where I gave these points a quick haircut back in '02 - but they are few and far between and not worth a worry. My original files were lost in 2005 so what you have here is redbook from my own listening disk.. I did the usual routine of taking a look at each file with Sound Studio and adjusted/verified the SBs after some minor re-indexing. xACT reports all is good. Enjoy and spread the joy. There is a pic from that day in the files but I will also post it in the comments - if anyone wants to throw together some artwork I'm sure it would be appreciated.
