CAVEAT EMPTOR:
This recording has been heavily processed using soundforge to restore
left channel volume, boost volume levels and where possible edit song
transitions smoothly. It has been retracked to conform with the recently
researched setlist details that place the date of this show as May 30th
1980. Track 8 has unfortunate sound erosion between 0:19 and 0:36
probably due to deterioration on the master tape. Track 14 cuts off
after 2:56. Other fade outs and fade ins are noticeable but as this
tape source lay unnoticed in a box for the best part of 25 years it is
remarkable how good the sound quality is.

Tracks 15-22 were previously released as part of REM-08, however this
source is far better quality and as it was recorded 6 days after the
40 Watt show it's the perfect companion.
