Sound:

Damn, this first set is on fire!! The fact that this source removes most of the distortion caused by the vocals makes this an instant upgrade for me to Zeppelin Digital's 2nd Gen. Compared to the 2nd Gen, I find this source to be less harsh, almost more relaxed and smoother. It's also not quite as loud which also helps. This feels like it’s been transferred on better equipment than the 2nd Gen and the repair work has been done really well. I have now consigned all previous versions to the archive.

Jon Hathaway:
"For this one, I removed the right channel entirely and moved the left into the center. Since it's mono anyway, nothing is missing except distortion. It's still there, but much less. This is obviously not a straight gen, but for someone who just wants to listen to this show, this is far and away the best-sounding version."

Pernod:
"Additional clean-up consisted of removing 11 secs overlap during HMMT, editing out some leftover digital silence, and cleaning up about a dozen digital pops as well as a few dropouts. This was done in September 2014".
