Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:

- Pitch adjustments have been made.
- There were a few gain surges during "C C Rider" and "Cumberland Blues " which I have smoothed out.
- I rebalanced some tracks to make Jerry's guitar a little more prominent as he was lowish in the mix.
- Tape flips have been patched with shnid 126105 - Thanks to Richie Stankiewicz and Andrew F.
- I have eq'd because the bottom end was very heavy, Phil's bass still sounds a little distorted in places.


Thanks to Doug Lamarre for providing his tape.

Thanks to Matt Vernon for doing the transfer and coordinating this.
