(54min+31min), same recording as holy grail except tracked differently, inverted and slightly lower levels; background talking d1t2, d1t8, d1t9, d1t10; this does not have all the between track flaws on one of the circulating holy grail versions and has less flaws at begin of d1t1; excellent sound [A]

static d1t1 0:14, analog drop 0:16 (during intro not in music), drop followed by volume surges followed by drop d2t2 3:40, 3:41,3:43, 3:44

(68min+61min), BOOTLEG: all roads lead to rome; (Godfather Records GR 601/602)

bittorrent download 07/13; same recording as LTD LB-7203 based on same clapping wavs at end of d1t2; in comparison this has more compression and is harsher; (did not listen to all of this)

(73min+12min), excellent sound [A-]; seems to be same recording as holy grail with channels reversed and different levels; one of them has had some sound processing; this one sounds brighter and the holy grail has a strange off sound in comparisom especially on the quieter songs so preferred this one; background talking d2t1

small gap at begin of d2t2 (not on holy grail version)
