- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used prior to LP playback.

- E.A.C. rips CDs at 16bit/44,1khz.
- Break between segments was to be used for Local DJ & Station ID.
- Each segment separated by a locked groove.

Known Faults:
- Static in very beginning of concert opening can not be cleaned very well no music harmed.
- Westwood One packed 53 minutes of music on one Live From Gilley's LP.
- That makes for tighter grooves, making it harder to fight needle damage noise.

Side Notes:
I am not sure but I think it might be George Strait singing the Hamburger Helper jingle. Along with George Strait, John Anderson was considered a New Traditionalist Country Artist, instead of Country Pop like Alabama. With what is called a slow southern drawl, John Anderson's vocal style was easily identifiable. Not happy just to sing other writers songs Anderson wrote a big amount of his own material. He was voted into the The Nashville Songwriter's Hall Of Fame in 2014 and into The Country Music Hall Of Fame in 2024.

Hamburger Helper Chili And Tomato is a failed flavor that you can't really find much about on the internet except for some persons collection of photos on their pintrest of failed Hamburger Helper flavors (interesting obsession). Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup brand has evolved into the Spicy Nacho Cheese flavor.

The Gilley's Brand became bigger than Mickey Gilley's career. After the Texas bar was used in the John Travolta movie Urban Cowboy people everywhere wanted something Gilley's. There was Gilley's Own Beer which I could not find any reviews of. I saw at least 10 different styles of Gilliey's belt buckles. There were shirts, pins, place mats and more. The bar eventually closed in the 1980s. It then later burned.

John Anderson is my favorite Country Music performer of all time. I have been listening to him since I was in High School. That was a pretty long time ago, when we had muscle cars and vinyl was not a fad but a way of life. This is one of the records that Rosebud bought me for Christmas 2024. There is yet another John Anderson recording being delivered today. She also bought me 4 Westwood One Superstar Conncert Series 3 album box sets, Aerosmith, Foreigner, The Fixx and Robert Palmer. I have started encoding those so they will be yours shortly!
