Caveat:
This sbd is on the muddy side, and it’s quite possible that there is more to this lineage.

Notes:
–The Other One cuts out during the 2nd verse, presumably seconds before a segue in the Cryptical reprise, which is completely missing
–Cosmic Charlie cuts in shortly after its beginning
–Feelin’ Groovy Jam in Dark Star starting at 17:08
–probably several minutes at least are missing off the end of Dark Star. It is not known whether it segued directly into Alligator, or a different song that is now missing formed the bridge, or it could have come to a dead stop before Alligator was started.
–only the last few seconds of the first Alligator remain.
–Sound Forge was used to correct the pitch of the recording and boost the amplitude for this seed. I cannot be sure, but I believe the previous shn seed is also from the same source and is therefore about a quarter step flat regarding pitch. If you aren’t sure whether you have a pitch corrected copy, check against the timings listed on this seed.
