~~ From 4th gen stage recording ~~

Here's an alternate version of the walk-Kristoftof version. I call it an upgrade, but maybe not everyone will agree - this 4th gen has a lot of clarity, but also a harsh treble, which some might find too hard on the ear. I think it can be balanced to some degree with EQ, without losing too much detail.

Note: I'm guessing the jam after the cut in track 07 is from King Kong, with the head of the song missing. However, I've chosen to lump it together with the foregoing vocal improvisations into one track.
