JustDave's Notes:
- As always a big Thank You to the guys in the Collective, Draftervoi, Sam Elliot's Mustache and Matt for assistance and input.

Known Faults:
- Vinyl was not properly cleaned before encoding which left quite a bit of vinyl noise to clean up.
- No Cue Sheets or Info Text was given with download.

Recording Notes:
- Encoder had his right and left patch cords crossed somewhere because what is right is left an what is left is right.
- The recording is a little rough at the start of "Tracks Of My Tears" but quickly cleans up.

Editing Notes:
- Connected the files to allow for easier editing.
- Evened out then raised the volume of the files.
- Removed any DC offset.
- Did a De-click with Goldwave with a tolerance of 2000%.
- Some larger clicks removed manualy.
- Some vinyl deffects may still be audible. Some clicks couldn't be removed without further damaging the sound so they were left. Others may have just been missed in the process.
- A rumble/bump filter was used on the files with an initial cutoff of 40khz due to excessive needle noise.

Other Notes:
- The recording is a little rough at the start of "Tracks Of My Tears" but quickly cleans up. Some small fuzz had to be left since it caused bad after effects when cleaned up.
- The show starts with a very special arrangement of "Tracks Of My Tears". Starting acoustically and finishing as an almost Gospel Soul Ballad.
- Smokey sings a very special version of "Being With You". 3 unique versions of the song were released. There was an english version called "Being With You". A Spanish version called "Aqui Con Tigo" and a bilingual English/Spanish version called "Being With You/Aqui Con Tigo". Smokey performs the bilingual English/Spanish version "Being With You/Aqui Con Tigo".
- I have included the Spanish and the English lyrics to "Being With You".
- The Front Row Theater, Cleveland, Ohio 1982 concert was broadcast by Westwood One as Westwood One Concerts & Specials #PC-83-24, Westwood One Budweiser Concert Hour #BC 82-21 and Westwood One Budweiser Concert Hour #BC 83-06. Each was edited differently creating 3 unique broadcasts.
- Westwood One Concerts & Specials #PC-83-24 is a 2 record show edited as just one concert. Westwood One Budweiser Concert Hour #BC 82-21 is said to be Part 2 of the Smokey Robinson concert and is a "all request set". The audience shouts out titles and Smokey plays them. Westwood One Budweiser Concert Hour #BC 83-06 is said to be Part 1 of the Smokey Robinson concert and consists of songs that sound like the edits used for Westwood One Concerts & Specials #PC-83-24.
