I thought you'd rather hear songs and dialog on our CD that were not on the RCA LP from mountainside park. Why just repeat what they did? Also, they overdubbed studio instruments on the original recording which distorted how Jim and the Blue Boys sounded. However, we worked from the original tape by Ken Alexander (the sound engineer that night). We cleaned up tape hiss, EQed it, corrected tape speed fluctuations and gave you the real deal...how Jim and his band would have sounded that night. What we presented was a purist's version of the concert, but we did slight editing also to be able to fit it on the CD with other material. BTW, ours was the first time that concert had ever been released commercially on CD. Since we own the copyright on it I do not expect to see it released on any other commercial CD, especially since our audio has identifying characteristics.
