Thanks to all the hard work from the folks mentioned above with
their loving care getting these sources out.  Also a thanks for 
some of the images used in creation of the artwork.  I found them 
years ago on the net and do not have any way to properly credit.

Notes on the Source Material

SBD (ShnID = 86817)
Perfectly balanced and flawless SBD recording and perfect transfer 
by Charlie Miller.  These patched tunes are also in good perfect 
condition.  Other than some slight speed flux and a tiny bit of hiss 
it was hard to even know these tunes were sourced from a cassette.  
The patch job, splice into the DSBD source, was very well done.

AUD (ShnID = 1031)
Great sounding above average FOB. Huge, wide open sound made directly 
to PCM. Nice balanced sound, no flaws and a clean transfer.

---------------------------------------------------------

Tech Notes

FLAC/SHNs were decoded to wave. Wavmerge was used to reassemble the 
tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & synch both 
sources (time compress and expand).  SF8.0 was used for the EQ setting 
on the LFE and CTR channels.  SF8.0 used to adjust the volume for the 
center, surround and LFE channels.  SF8.0 was used to perform the hard 
limiting on the LFE channel.  Surcode MLP was used to encode all six 
channels utilizing a lossless compression scheme. DiscWelder was used 
to author and create the DVD-Audio in 5.1 and created the ISO image 
file.  This incorporates 6 channels of 16/44 wave files.

Notes

DC offset was corrected on the FOB.

AUD source disc 2 to Disc 3 was not seamless.  A reverse fade and
then removal of overlapping material.

The following songs patched from Cassette Master SBD: Tuning, Aiko, 
Jack Straw, West L.A. Fadeaway, Let Phil Sing, Memphis Blues, Let 
Mickey Sing and Row Jimmy.  The cassette SBD used for the patch 
material is very good and the source change is hard to detect.

d1t07 "Let Mickey Sing Chant" is just from the AUD source.  This
was crossfaded, EQ'ed with some volume adjustments to blend better.
This patch turned out very well and is hard to detect.
