I really don't know, after all this time. I guess if I hadn't flipped the tape so friggin' soon, I might have at least got the last track here. Basically, it's a near straight run-through of the "Warehouse..." album, which I wasn't crazy about at the time, although a few more of the songs have grown on me since then. Three nights in a row, to celebrate eight years of Husker Du-dom by rolling out the new album, along with a few random tracks from the past thrown in each night, for good measure. This was the "all-ages" show, and once again, I was standing right in front of the stage left PA column, and somehow managed to get away with a minimum amount of distortion from being so close, despite the auto-limiter function of the deck I was using. I somehow also managed to NOT "re-master" this cassette in all the years I've had it, so this is as clean as it gets. Hope you kids enjoy this one! orginal master cassette > Azimuth-optimized analog/digital transfer to hard drive (CDWav editor) > split into tracks (CDWav editor) > SoundForge processes applied: DC offset; channel level adjustment; Traders Little Helper processes: SBE check (OK); .flac conversion (level 8) ********************************************************************************************************************** A KIND OF DISCLAIMER AGAINST POTENTIAL BOOTLEGGERS... I had taken a bit of a break from posting anything, due to getting a lot of flak about my no-artwork "policy". I'm willing to give it another try, and see how it goes. If people are interested in hearing what I dig out of the archives, then please do not post artwork on the torrents I post, and please don't try to open a big debate about it in the comments section. Either of those things will be the quickest way to convince me that I'm wasting my time sharing this stuff with people. Do what you want in your own space, but please respect my one simple request on the torrents I post, okay? It is my express interest to provide the best quality archival material I have available, but the notion of people creating "artwork" for these recordings has little to do with the work I do as an archivist. It also easily enables the ready packaging of archival recordings as illegitimate bootlegs, which I do not support. I am not in the business of manufacturing a "product", but simply contributing to a particular type of cultural history. If people are going to make artwork for my recordings, I don't want to see it attached to this or any of my torrents, or that will seriously be the end of me putting up anything else from my archives. If this is going to be an issue for anyone, I'm done sharing my recordings, period. I'm not interested in anyone's opinions on the subject, and this is not a matter that's up for discussion. If you disagree with my opinion, why waste your time or anyone else's posting about it? ********************************************************************************************************************** Now, back to the fun stuff - just enjoy the music, okay?
