This shows has a long history with me...It was one of the first shows I ever remastered
from analog to CD back in late 1997 (those early days of remastering). However, my
soundcard was not that good back then. Recently a trader wanted to get this show
and I decided to re-do my transfer from the analog source and do some
cleanup....ever since that "dumb" transfer to Audio CD (2 weeks back), I have the rip
on my laptop and I decided to clean it up, add track seperation etc. and offer it 
to you guys.

This show to this day remains one of my favourite Hornsby shows...It is one of those
shows that I keep finding myself going back to from time to time...I personally find it
to be a very tight show (since they were playing at the Further Festival with other
acts) and Bruces' playing is extraordinary...the recording is also very well balanced
and rich, which accentuates the experience!

Special thanks to Mike Caplan, who had kindly sent me his original master cassette (Maxell XLIIS 90) for the original remaster. Mike--if you are out there, this is a 
better transfer, so do get it for an upgrade.

Technically speaking, I took the master cassette (from the DAT source) and played it back on my Nakamichi DR-1 tape deck and digitized it using my Pioneer Standalone Audio CD Recorder. I then took that source audio CD, extracted the audio files to my laptop using EAC. The final audio processing was done using Adobe Audition 1.5 (good 'ol Cool Edit Pro) and performed track seperation, some very minor Parametric eq. to boost the high end which sorta brings it back to what the highs may have sounded like on the DAT source (although I feel it may have boosted some hiss in the quieter passages, but you will forget that real soon...thanks to the music).

One final note: This is obviously an offering made from an analog source...If someone on the list has the digital source and can offer it to the group, I will gladly pull out this seed and let that "super-seed" :-) this offer.
