This is a fresh transfer from my cassette masters that doesn't have the DAE layer from the prior seed. 
I ran my deck, as well as the decks for my taping buds, Vita, Hance, Goldsher and even possibly Eugene D'Alesandro.
As I remember it the FOB seat location was mine (which is why I got the job running the rig) 
Although it is possible that one of those guys gave me their seat because I offered to work the show. 

Also note, The prior seed indicates the Cassette Masters were Maxell MX 90's that is incorrect, 
they are TDK MA 90's
