Run Out Grooves:

Side B : BOB-444-B MCR JOE
Side C : BOB-444-C MCR JOE

Known Faults:
- While checking the vinyl I did notice some tiny dimples on Record 1. These can be found on records usually without any harm to the sound, records were super clean on arrival from Sam Elliot's Mustache.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone at the beginning of Side A for radio stations to set output levels before broadcast. It was not encoded.
- King Biscuit put the 2 locked groove show promos at the end of Side A I moved them to the end of the show.
- Show matches a bootleg FM broadcast I have on my hard drive. The show is called The Toys For Tots Concert The Palladium, Los Angeles, California, USA February 12, 1982 King Biscuit Flower Hour FM broadcast so that date has been attatched to this recording.
- Lead vocalist Jimmy Farrar addresses the audience throughout the show as Los Angeles and as The Paladium.
- Show has been officially released a few times so posting show on any forums would not be alowed.

Editing Notes:
- 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.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.

Other Notes:
- Not one member of the original lie-up of Molly Hatchet is alive. (See Molly Hatchet Extra Info text)
- Second vocalist Jimmy Farrar has also passed on. (See Molly Hatchet Extra Info text)
- Molly Hatchet still tour without one original member in the band.
- Bobby Ingram, who joined the band in 1987, has been leading the band without any original members since 1992. Except for between 2005-2017 when Dave Hlubek returned to the line-up as a "special guest"
