View NotesNotes:

- DC Offset removed.
- Pitch adjustments made.
- This copy doesn't suffer with the pops and clicks Charlie Miller referred to in the notes for shnid 123578 but has the same cuts as all circulating soundboards.
- Due to the age of the tapes there were a few small problems which have either been repaired or patched with Charlie's source.
- Much of the tuning is missing from this source.  I have not bothered about most of it but I did patch in some banter/tuning before "Box Of Rain" and "Nickelodeon" tuning.
- Bertha has mix problems.


Thanks to Tim Dalton for providing this source and Charlie miller for the transfer.
