justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and adjust the volume. No EQ or noise redction was used. I seperated the interviews from the songs. There are some small flaws in this recording. The first track "Stop" starts a little abruptly. The transition from "Stop" to "Walk Away" is slightly ruff. The volume would fluctuate I did my best to even it out some. All in all this is not a bad listen, and a nice example at what The James Gang sounded like in 1971.
