JustDave's Notes:
- Huge Thank You To Sam Elliot's Mustache for sending me his vinyl to encode!
- Thank you also to the other members of The Collective Of Live Music for help and inspiration.
- Thank you to the website https://throgood5050tour.wordpress.com for the proof of the George Thorogood date with 6 print ads and 1 ticket stub.

Known Faults:
- As with all King Biscuit shows I've edited so far, the commercials had a maked difference in volume to the music.
- Volume of commercials was adjusted to match the body of the show. This causes excessive needle noise

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 A. They have been encoded and moved to the end of the program.

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.
- Turntable & tone arm balanced: Needle Tracking & Azimuth set: Needle Pressure & Antiskid digitaly set.
- Soundcard stereo field maximized.
- Goldwave 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 and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.
- A High Pass Filter with an initial cutoff of 60khz with a Static Steepness of 2 was used to lessen the needle noise during commercials. This needle noise being due to the low volume of the commercials and having to raise said volume to match the music and voiceovers.

Other Notes:
- The Aldo Nova portion of the show was released again by King Biscuit Flower Hour as Best Of The Biscuit #435 but "Heart To Heart" was not included
- The opening act for George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Perkin's Palace was Blues Legend Albert Collins
