Sonic Solutions was hired to repair the deteriorating reels and they turned them into DAT or PCM tapes of some sort (I don't know those details, and it may have varied from tape to tape). "Those friends then made cassette copies of some of these DAT/PCMs for themselves. The night that they were going to leave San Francisco, the suitcase of master cassettes were stolen out of their van parked at a Little Feat concert in Berkeley, I think it was. No one knows what happened to those master cassettes. Probably, they were sold by some homeless guy on the streets of Berkeley and tossed in the trash by someone's wife a decade later. "Fortunately, a few copies of the master cassette were made. I was given three of them to digitize, which I did. On this one, there is an 'extra' cassette flip in Killing Me Softly, generated by the dope who made the cassette copy badly. The remaining dropouts and glitches are, probably, problems with the original mastering from reel to DAT/PCM. "I was going to seed this and two other transfers, but part of the goal of this project was to see if any of the other dozen or so master cassettes and copies of those master cassettes, might shake loose, without pissing off David Graham or anyone else. I know where a few are, but their owner won't part with them. "Obviously, there's more to this story than I've told, but I don't have permission to tell it. As for best available source, I believe that barring the digital source created by Sonic Solutions, and unless the master cassette surfaces someday, this is the best available recording of this show that you can find.
