Remastered 2007: Volume boosted, evened out, and EQ applied. There was a 50 second spot in track 3 that was one channel only,
that was repaired by overwriting that portion with the other channel. There were some other low volume spots that were fixed.

The recording runs just shy of 90 minutes.
If splitting onto two discs, the suggested split is after track 8.
There are a half-dozen small discontinuities in the recording,
including abrupt transitions between songs and small gaps,
some with brief silences and others without.
