Information from the taper:
This is just the Christmas Carol theatrical performance and the Christmas set. A different recording of the main show (including the Christmas set but not the Christmas Carol performance) has already been seeded.
Source: AT943's (SP CMC8's) > SP-SPSB1 (No Bass Rolloff) > Sony D7 DAT
Location: FOB, Left of center, about 5 rows up from the pit
Transfer: D7 > Core Sounds 7-pin > TDK Standalone Burner > CDR > EAC (secure mode, offset corrected, zero errors) > CDWav (track splits) > GoldWave (compression & normalization) > FLAC
I typically don't normalize and compress, but this had quite a range, being as some of it was spoken theatre stuff, and some of it was full Spree onslaught!
There were some microphone problems and drop outs throughout the Christmas Carol performance. Not my mics, the performers mics, especially Mrs. Claus.
Track splits within the theatre part are somewhat arbitrary, as are the titles.
My disclaimer: I have no disclaimer. I was just fortunate to be there and be allowed to tape. So do with this what you will. However, the band will probably be pissed if you try to sell this recording.
