Recording Notes:
- LP was professionally cleaned before purchase.
- Records hand cleaned with Record Research Lab Super Record Wash before playback.
- LP cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning System prior to playback.
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- The Vocopro CDR-1000PRO processes at 24bit/44,1khz then records in 16bit/44,1.
- Vocopro CDR-1000PRO Waves can confuse Traders Little Helper so spectral of a wave is included.
- Recorder can be "tempermental" with CD-rs so 1 side recorded per CD-r to reduce bad discs.
- EAC Log given for each CD-r ripped.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- No noise reduction used.
- Manually declicked in Goldwave.

Other Notes:
- This show was also broadcast as #89-07, #89-25 & #92-41. #89-07 and #89-25 on 3-LPs; #92-41 on 1-CD; #89-07 and #89-25 both had one additional track, "That Was Yesterday", that was not on the CD version. The CD version had a 1990s updated mix and master. (Thank you Draftervoi for the research)
- The Nipon Budokan Arena started life as a Judo Arena for the 1964 Summer Olympic Games. It also hosted karate and professional wrestling competitions. Budokan Arena hosted it's first Rock Concert in 1966 when The Beatles played a series of concerts there. Bob Dylan, Cheap Trick, Ian Gillan and Eric Clapton helped make the arena famous in the United States, and other western markets, by releasing Live At Budokan albums. The building was renovated in 2020 and is still in use.
