::: Very fine AUD in small club. Check samples for distain or delight deliberations.
::: Warts: Sid not do meticulous remastering so there are a few (cross-channel patchable) dull spots here & there.
::: First-ever circulated digital transfer direct from master tapes.
::: Feel free to supply the missing 3 titles (likely standards).
::: Tape labeled "Sun Ra Disney Tribute Arkestra". Gigs seemed to vary the band names.
