Notes from Chris Mrachek :
This soundboard recording is far from flawless but is way better now! I spent the better part of two days editing and then mastering this to get this to what it is. The edits were so numerous that i won't even begin to go into all that. The original FLAC files were merged back into a continuous file set of the show prior to editing & mastering. Some of the more interesting edits that were fixed (as best i could) was the first 36 minutes of the show the channels were inverted - which changed during the No Woman No Cry. Also the No Woman No Cry suffered from severe tape issues (again too numerous to go into) which were drastically improved although still far from perfect. I used some EQ'ing, a couple awesome WavelabPro plug-ins, fixing balance (L to R) issues, light limiting in spots, proper fades (where applicable), many level adjustments as well as a parallel compression version blended with the raw "mastered" file to accentuate the best parts of the mix. I decided NOT to use any noise filters as i don't like the frequencies that are inadvertantly removed through these processes and imo remove some valuable audio information. I also chose to keep the small 2nd part of Kinky Reggae that was cut here (with only minor fade edits) for the sake of completeness. This version would imo have to be the definitive version of this great show! I did create some PDF CD covers for those of you still inclined and apoligize for not providing photographers credit as I have no idea who took these photos or where they originated from. The photos are live shots from this concert in Providence, Rhode Island. Without a doubt some incredibly CRUCIAL roots reggae here! Enjoy & One Love - Chris
