This recording is the same master that is found on current copies
listed as AUD>MR>C>DAT>CD.  That genealogy is completely fabricated.
Not only was the recording not mastered on reel, but Amick put his 
master cassette onto reel and all direct copies he made, that we 
know of (2), came from that.  Judging from the drastic difference 
in sound quality, this other listing is AUDMC>R>?>C>DAT>CD at best.  
The difference in sound quality is absolutely striking.  Also worth 
mentioning is that Amick "dropped out" many years ago, to Hawaii 
apparently, and his masters and reels have vanished with him for 
the time being.

notes: At 3:24 into Casey Jones, something is switched on the 
master tape (bias?) which results in a great improvement of sound
quality.  Also, Amick edited Drums on his reel.  It might also be
missing from the master, as there are no copies to be found (now) 
with more of the Drums from his recording.  No additional editing
was performed to mask this original edit.

*At seven spots (09:58, 10:12, 11:43, 11:46, 11:50, 11:55, 12:38)
on the tape, it seems the pause button was hit, apparently on the 
master cassette.  These were cross faded in Soundforge to smooth 
things out.  Some cross fades are more evident than others due to
an attempt to lose as little of the music as possible.

note: There is a master cassette pause after the first notes of 
He's Gone.  Very little music is missing from the tape, and the 
cut is not abrupt.  No extra editing was preformed.
