Show notes:
- In-store acoustic set played with minor amplification.
Recording notes:
- d1t01 has several rough spots of distortion in the left channel as
recorded on the master; I may have had a short or perhaps something
was bumping the mic stand (it was set up behind a display by the
stairwell on the right-hand side). I noticed the left channel spiking
all throughout Amsterdam but could not diagnose it before it
mysteriously disappeared after one final distortion 27 seconds into
Happier. If anyone is feeling adventurous and feels like fixing or
minimizing these problems, please do!
- Several blips and dropouts in Happier from the original transfer were
repaired by re-recording a couple of segments on the mastering deck,
hence the D8 also appearing in the transfer lineage above. Overlays are
flawless and result in no dropped samples but it's worth mentioning.
