Another installment of The Music Never Stopped Project!

Notes:
-d1t01 (Alabama); Brief d/o @ :58, cuts back in during intro
-d2t02 (Promised Land); Levels ‘settle down’ @ 3:08
-d3t04 (Drums); MC flip @ :16
-These audio discs came to me with a small redundancy @ the start of disc three;
I removed it to make the 2nd set ‘seamless’ and ready for longer media.
-I used CD Wave and Shntool to retrack and verify sb’s, and CE2K for all editing.
