I know for certain that tracks 07-08 and 13-17 are definitely my own master recordings (FM0), and I think that some of the others may be as well (unfortunately I no longer seem to have all of the original tapes to check against); but where not, and they are from tapes received in trade, those tracks are all first generation copies, as far as I know.
Some of the sessions here are not complete, this is because the recordings on this compilation were originally added by me as filler tracks to the second disk of my previously uploaded 's-Hertogenbosch 1984-05-30 show, and I only included session tracks there that were of compatible audio quality to the show (note, incidentally, that not all the session dates given on my artwork for that are correct). Unfortunately the other songs from the Kid Jension and Richard Skinner session tapes that I have are not great quality, in fact they sound to me more like they were sourced from AM rather than FM recordings; and as for why I apparently did not record (or have maybe lost) the rest of the 'Saturday Live' session, I really have no idea!
