Notes: 
-This is the first time this show is known to exist digitally!!!

The Media Club records all our live shows; although it goes straight 
through the board, and we are presented with one, possibly two cdr's 
of the .wav file, depending on how long our sets are.  As a result, the 
levels are all off; it is a pre-mixing-board source, definitely not the 
same mix that the audience hears.  For example, you'll notice the 
acoustic guitar is too loud and the electric solos aren't loud enough.  
I tried to balance some of it out with a free-ware program, Audacity, 
which I also did the tracking with; but with the source the way it is,
things are limited.  It sounds pretty good if you crank it.

Throughout the set there were some popping noises and some clicks.  
I did the best I could to erradicate these, although some remain.

Each song has a shorter fade-in and a longer fade-out.  All talk 
between songs has been removed, with the exception of track 03.

There are, however, a few problems that should be noted.

Track 02 - Howling Wind - at the 03:16 mark, there was a really bad
skip and several crackles.  The only way of fixing this was to remove 
two bars and resinc the time up.  There is still an inconsistency
because of the missing two bars; but this result is better than what 
was.

Track 05 - Firecracker - at the 04:13 mark,there is a slight hiccup.
		       - at from 05:18 - 05:22, there is some 
interference.  Seems like some kind of voic-over.  You can hear 
some clicks, then someone say, "Yeah." I couldn't get rid of it.

Enjoy.
