"Source Information for The Usher's Tapes Tree

"the person who is responsible for the bulk of the capitol theatre audience recordings is a fellow by the name of ken lee (not sure of his last name spelling). this is the
guy who was employed by howard stein (local ny area promoter of the time) my source is his brother in law, mark c (a long time dead head & quite a nice & unassuming person) i owe mark a huge debt of gratitude.

ken's port chester masters were recorded on a sony cassette deck (don't have the 'model # or mic info) his positioning was generally center lodge with mic's mounted on the rail. 3/21/70 had the mic's spaced at over 15 feet, and the recording bears out that information.

I modified this text file to more accurately represent the information about the source tapes. I also believe that a new digitization off the master tapes is in process ~ 10/22/2003.

Here is more info:
-Recorded by Ken & Judy Lee on a Sony 124 cassette deck with Sony dynamic mics on a Norelco 120 normal bias tape. Microphones were set up in the balcony with a 20 foot spread.
-Original tape was baked in "Susie Q", shell replaced and transferred on a Tascam 122mk3 via a Lucid ADA1000 Analog to Digital Converter directly to disc on a Tascam CDRW700 by John Jay Hance.
-Cleanup performed by Peter G with Soundforge.

Timgrav,

The information about the transfer and cleanup do not apply to this seed, but rather to a new transfer of the same show from the masters, not the 2nd gen cassettes. The new transfer is not yet listed on etree.

My bad....I will wait for the powers that be to add the new fileset to the DB.
Thanks for the clarification.

So what's the deal with the "Cosmic Charlie" twice in the late show electric set? Am I missing something? A warp in the space/time continuum?
