JustDave's Notes:
- Huge Thank You To Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending me his vinyl to encode!
- Thank you also to Draftervoi, Sam Elliot's Mustache and avnut for input and assistance!

Known Faults:
- During Bill Minkin's wrap up of the show there is a couple spots of distortion that could not be removed without making the noise worse.

Recording Notes:
- There is a locked groove test tone at the beginning of Side A for radio stations to set balance and output levels before broadcast. It was not encoded.
- There are two locked groove show promos at the end of Side C, one with a voice over, one without. They have been encoded.

Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a felt disc cleaner was used on the record prior to playback.
- 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.
- Raw transfer: EQ off, treble and bass levels set at +/- zero for most accurate sound of LP.
- Turntable balanced: Needle Tracking, Azimuth, Pressure & Antiskid Dialed In: Soundcard stereo field maximized: Goldwave always set to record while filtering any offset.
- Recording and all editing done in 24bit/96khz.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with commercials and voiceovers.
- Declicked manually no Pop Fix Noise Reduction was necessary with this rip.
- As with all King Biscuit shows I've edited so far, the commercials had a maked difference in volume to the music. Volume was adjusted to match the body of the show.
- A High Pass Rumble/Bump Filter with an initial cut off 40Hz was used on the commercials as the low volume they were mastered with causes needle noise.  

Other Notes:
- This was a fun project to work on. Pat Benatar and the band had a great couple shows to make up this recording. I've always loved Pat's choices of cover songs. On her first album there was 2 Smokey covers "In the Heat of the Night", and "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", John "Cougar" Melloncamp's "I Need A Lover", The Sweet's "No You Don't", Nick Gilder's "Rated X", Alan Parson's "Don't Let It Show" and Jenny Darren's "Heartbreaker". On Crimes Of Passion there was The Young Rascals' "You Better Run" and Kate Bush's "Wurthering Heights". On Precious Time she covered Paul Revere & The Raiders' "Just Like Me" and The Beatles' "Helter Skelter". Six of these covers are in this set, with "Helter Skelter" being chosen as the show closer.
- This show was released as Pat Benatar Greatest Hits Live.
- Pat Benatar has stopped playing "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" because of the gun violence in the United States. She says that she will not preach to her fans, that's not her place. She says as a citizen that she talks to U.S. Legislators about the situation. She however feels she can not sing the song when it personally makes her think of the violence in the world.
