Source Info:
Primary Source:
Betty's 10" MSR -> PCM -> DAT supplies the 2nd Set

Secondary Sources:
MSR -> C -> DAT (gd73-03-24.sbd.hamilton.shnid1216) supplies the majority of the 1st set, Berth (t01) thru 7:38 of "Here Comes Sunshine" (t15), the patch in "Truckin" from 8:05 thru 9:28 as well as the tuning and first few beats of "Johnn B. Goode" (t31)

Betty's 10" MSR -> PCM -> S/PDIF out -> disk -> digital noise reduction w/Sound Forge 6.0 (shnid83407) supplies from 7:38 of "Here Comes Sunshine" (t15)thru the end of the 1st Set

Notes:

- Thanks to Charlie Miller for the transfer
- Thanks to the folks responsible for gd73-03-24.sbd.hamilton.shnid1216
- Thanks to the folks involved in the WBOTB Project for gd73-03-24.sbd.cantor.diebert.shnid83407
- This composite utilizes 3 sources to provide a virtually complete show in one fileset, utilizing the best available sources as of 10/2017
- The Betty Board in general circulation has digital noise reduction processing applied to it
  This transcription of the 2nd Set Betty Board does not have digital noise reduction
- The Betty Board in general circulation (shnid83407) has a cut in "Truckin'"
- "Bertha" (t01)had level/mix fluctuations for the first 1:30 or so. The level fluctuations were minimized
- shnid1216 source was missing most of the between song tunings/banter and had some abrupt between
  song transitions,these transitions have been smoothed
- First several seconds of "Here Comes Sunshine" (t15) are missing
- While all copies had level/mix issues in the beginning of "Promised Land" (t19),the Betty Boards exhibited
  more severe level/mix fluctuations than the shnid1216 MSR->C source, so the tuning and first 0:16 of
  "Promised Land" are from the shnid1216 source and the level fluctuations were minimized
- Truckin'-> Jam-> Spanish Jam (t27)clocks in at 32:37
