This is a fine recording, but it bears no relationship to SHNID 010876 or 76222, which circulate misdated as 11/18/89 but are in fact from 10/22/88 in Ardmore, PA.  In fact, until now (Dec. 2024), all recordings dated 11/18/89, whether marked as being from Wetlands or not, appear to be from 10/22/88 in Ardmore.  That is easily confirmed at about 1 minute into those recordings, when the WMMR DJ mentions "23 East Cabaret in Ardmore."

This recording is reliably dated 11/18/89, which was most certainly the date of the performance at Wetlands.

There is a tape flip during drums, cross faded and there is a gap in Rigor Mortis.  Given the provenance of this tape and 11/17/89, that second bit of Rigor Mortis may be from a different performance that was already on the tape.  It doesn't sound like it, but there's no way to be sure.
Enjoy!
