Lineage: ATM 169 Way Down In Texas Land Rev A FLAC> Adobe Audition (NR, EQ, Comp, Speed Correction)> FLAC
EH Compressed Sources from Youtube(compressed audio)to FLAC> Adobe Audition (Declicked, NR, EQ, Comp, Speed Correction)>FLAC

Have included the cleanup of EH distributed transfer, as it sounds a bit better than ATM - but as it is compressed, it is just for comparison.

Some of the EH transfers of audience tapes have been better source material than some of the previous transfers - but of course they are only in a compressed form (via YouTube) so I have specially marked them so these won't be passed off as uncompressed. I was wondering whether they should be included at all - but some of them produced better results than what was previously available - compression and all.

Original Notes: This is taken directly from my 2-record boot Lp. This came out in the early 1980s and at the time was the only generally available source for this show. I kept this Lps in good condition, but this is not the definitive transfer, some snaps, crackles and pops along the way. I'm sure there are better, but didn't see it on the tracker...so here ya go! Jimi in Iowa!!!!


FD Notes: Davenport - was taken from the vinyl source (transferred to FLAC) because it actually sounded the best to me...EH also released a decent transfer, and it was interesting to see their take on the speed of AYE? I had previously "speed corrected" it to A Flat, but it sounded slow...as it always seems to be in A including EH transfer, I suspect this was played in regular tuning.

So AYE is stereo (where is that tape?) - and in standard tuning, while the rest of the show is in mono and E flat tuning.
Some of the EH transfers of audience tapes have been better source material than some of the previous transfers - but of course they are only in a compressed form (via YouTube) so I have specially marked them so these won't be passed off as uncompressed. I was wondering whether they should be included at all - but some of them produced better results than what was previously available - compression and all.

The Intro on the vinyl version of Davenport is slightly truncated, as there is not much missing except audience noise and tuning, I elected to leave it with the shorter intro.

Tax Free (Missing From Tape) - such a pity...
