Mastering Notes
-- Edited, mastered and downsampled to 16/44.1 on the GEMS Edit Station.
-- Heavy bass frequency attenuated.
-- Channels balanced.
-- Tape pauses between songs were smoothed where harsh.

Notes
-- d1t01 - "The Harder They Come" abruptly cuts in, with the first few notes of the opening missing.
-- The Sony ECM microphones were mounted on a broomstick.
-- We at MOTB, and the community at large, are forever indebted to Bob Menke and Louis Falanga for having the wherewithal and initiative to tape these Legion Of Mary performances in 1975; and, of course, for the kind sharing thereof.
