The folding insert contains the complete track info that is found listed at right, including the venue and musicians. The cover photo is grainy, and could have been a lot nicer. Also, the playing sequence is slightly different than what the back cover shows. The actual order is shown above. * The biggest problem with this release however, is in trying to put too many tracks on it! The tecnology of the day allowed 70 to 72 minutes recording time. This disc is 72:02. However, to achieve that time constraint of the CD, the songs were mastered about 10% too fast. It would have been SO much better to have eliminated one track! The result is not unpleasant, however.... many will never even hear the speed problem. At one time, that technique was a studio trick for official releases to help smooth out the sound. I suggest giving it a listen before you purchase, but I suggest purchase by a completeist only, as there have since been other releases that have not only corrected the speed problem, but have helped reduce the white noise floor level. © 2000 CD Pinkerton / bobsboots.com For those with the ability to digitally manipulate the play speed of the tracks, HERE is a time conversion chart © 2000 CD Pinkerton / bobsboots.com |
