=======================================

Bringing this 4-CD version of the popular Jose's show to my fellow Rainmakers fans has been a long and difficult labor.  

Many collectors/traders already have a 2-CD version
in their collection, the result of an mid-'90s CD transfer by Appleton, Wisconsin's own "Tree" in which he dropped a number of songs (including all the "partials" created by tape flips).  A 3-CD version of the show that began trading around 1997 or '98 derived from a dub onto cassettes slightly shorter than the masters so that even the partial songs are missing music that exists on the master tapes.  It was from a copy of this dub (making it 2nd generation from the master) that I first transferred the show onto CD in the late 1990's.  I think I traded this version to two or three fellow Rainmaker fans and they in turn traded it a bit as well.  But it never became that widely circulated as many people on the official Rainmakers Message Board said they only had the 2-disc version as late as 2005.

This new issue comes direct from the master tape, sent to me by the taper last summer.  Not only does this version include a bit more music than even my previous 3-CD version, but as a special bonus, it includes the pre-show interview with the band which aired on KRFA-FM in Fayetteville.  This is another master tape - rather than being what actually went out over the airwaves, it was recorded in the radio station's broadcast booth so you can hear the guys talking while their records are being played on-air.  It's quite interesting (and, at times, might be a little embarrassing).

These recordings capture Steve, Bob & Rich just two months prior to the addition of Pat Tomek on drums (Bob then moved to rhythm guitar, abandoning his stand-up drums) which completed the "classic" Rainmakers lineup.  A recording contract with PolyGram would soon be signed (two songs from their final pre-PolyGram demo tape - "Stick Together" and an early version of "Doomsville" feature during the interview portion).  Their sets at the time still featured many of their fun cover songs but increasingly featured their original songs.  A number of these originals would never see an official Rainmakers release (i.e., Bob's "Hello I Said" and Steve's "Cool Down"); several are in their embryonic forms ("Black Sky (Everything You Do)" being a transition between an Ozark Mountain Daredevils cover and their own "Downstream"); songs such as "The Task Is At Hand" and "I Ain't Easy" originally appeared among Bob solo demos.

I won't go into a track-by-track discussion of which songs are covers and where the various originals appeared in studio form.  There was a lengthy discussion a couple of years ago on this very subject on the official Rainmakers Message Board (www.rainmakers.com) and a search should easily turn it up.

The final remaster itself is very straightforward.  The original cassette masters were in remarkably good shape, despite their being on low-bias tapes with no noise reduction.  There is a bit of his at the beginning of the show and throughout the interview, but it is not overpowering and soon disappears. 

As I mentioned, the remaster was delayed numerous times over the course of the last year. I originally planned to upload a different show as RMRP-006 but I received a number of requests for this particular one.  My travels delayed the project somewhat and when I finally began remastering I was hit by computer viruses and crashes a total of three times (each time necessitated my beginning the transfer yet another time - causing worries that the tape would wear out or jam before I finally got a backup copy!).  And, when I finally began uploading we were hit by a series of winter snow storms here in New Mexico that knocked out my DSL connection!

But, if you are reading this text file now, the upload was finally successful!!

I must admit there is some urgency in my sharing this show at this time:  I am moving to southern Thailand at the beginning of April 2006 and will not have access to a high-speed Internet connection for an unknown period of time.

I hope you enjoy the show.
