Thanks to all the hard work from the folks mentioned above with
their loving care getting these sources out.  Also a thanks for 
some of the images used in creation of the artwork.  I found them 
years ago on the net and do not have any way to properly credit.

Notes on the Source Material

SBD (ShnID = 80840)
Perfectly balanced and flawless SBD recording and perfect transfer 
by Charlie Miller.  These patched tunes are also in good perfect 
condition.  Other than some slight speed flux and a tiny bit of hiss 
it was hard to even know these tunes were sourced from a cassette.  
The patch job, splice into the DSBD source, was very well done.

AUD1 (ShnID = 31211)
Great sounding above average FOB. Huge, wide open sound made directly 
to PCM. Nice balanced sound, no flaws and a clean transfer.

---------------------------------------------------------

Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble the 
entire show back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & synch 
both of the sources.  SF8.0 used to EQ and adjust the volume for the 
center, surround and LFE channels.  Surcode CD Pro DTS was used to 
encode to DTS.

Notes

DC offset was corrected on the FOB.

AUD source disc 2 to Disc 3 was not seamless.  A reverse fade and
then removal of overlapping material.

The following songs patched from Cassette Master SBD: Tuning, Aiko, 
Jack Straw, West L.A. Fadeaway, Let Phil Sing, Memphis Blues, Let 
Mickey Sing and Row Jimmy.  The cassette SBD used for the patch 
material is very good and the source change is hard to detect.

d1t07 "Let Mickey Sing Chant" is just from the AUD source.  This
was crossfaded, EQ'ed with some volume adjustments to blend better.
This patch turned out very well and is hard to detect.

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel sound
like DTS, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio.  While the Audio-CD 
standard (Red Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these new 
sound formats, it is still possible to go around the 
specification and to put a 5.1 surround recording on a 
regular Audio-CD.  To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must connect 
your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial) 
to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure that 
your receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio-CD, so the first 
time you're trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you must do 
a test to determine if it can. Begin with the volume very 
low, start the disc and rise the volume gradually. NEVER 
listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the analogue audio outputs 
of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions
Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any normal 
Audio-CD from FLAC files.
