My comment (kajsa89):
I consider the sound quality of this - the material coming from the main master tape source - to be clearly superior to the previously seeded Pontiac torrent:

Elvis is a bit in the distance even here on this bootleg, but you should have no problem enjoying it, - if you are a FAN. The 2nd source isn't much inferior. In fact, when I first listened to the songs from the 2nd tape for tracks 10 and 11 on CD1, I didn't notice it. Only when I listened once more to try to spot a difference did I hear a change. The difference is a bit more noticeable for track 15 on CD1.

Bonus track 20 is a few minutes long, and quite fun to listen to.
Track 21 lasts only some seconds.

This has just been released, and is just purchased via a fan club. Enjoy!
