JustDave's Notes:
- Thank you to BiginV3gas for sending his vinyl for encoding!
- Thank you to my fellow members of The Collective Of Live Music for all the help and inspiration

Known Faults:
- Westwood One packs over 50 minutes of music and commercials on 2 sides of vinyl making for groove crowding.
- Groove crowding can cause needle damage to the vinyl causing more pops, snaps & needle noise or rumble.
- The crowd applause on Live From Gilley's recordings can sound like pops and crackles sometimes, this has always bugged me but I have never noted it before the encoding of this show.

Recording Notes:
- There was no show promo on the record, it seems to be that by 1987 they quit including them and Jim Duncan would just tell you at the end of the program who was coming the next week.

Editing Notes:
- A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used on LP prior to playback.
- A carbon fiber record brush, then a microfiber 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 Set: Needle Pressure Digitally 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 voice overs.
- Declicked manually and some noise reduction used depending on what best served situation.
- A high pass filter with an initial cut off of 50hz and static steepness of 2 was used to ease rumble caused by the tight grooves on the album.

Other Notes:
- "Marie Laveau" by Shel Sylverstein was first recorded by the band Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show in 1971.
- "Tequila Sheila" written by Mack Davis and Shel Sylverstein was recorded by Bobby Bare in 1980.
- A well respected hit song writer himself Bobby Bare also has a talent for picking great songs by other fantastic song writers such as Harlon Howard's "The Streets Of Baltimore", Lawton Williams' "Shame On Me", Johnny Darrel's "Green Green Grass Of Home".
- Bobby Bare's July 25, 1987 appearance at Gilley's Night Club was one of the last major concert events at the club before it's eventual closing. This info found out through google and links at https://guestpectacular.com and setlist.fm
- I also found a picture of Gilley's Sign with Bobby Bare's name and the number 25 next to it. I dare say it might be to advertise this show.

Draftervoi's Notes:

The cue sheet was lost along the way.  I've included a scan of the record label.

Bobby Bare's long career started with rock and roll releases in the 1950s.  He had a notable snafu with his first self-penned hit, 'The All American Boy."  Bare made a demo for Bill Parsons to teach him the song, Capitol Records pressed up Bare's demo instead of Parson's take, but credited the record to Parsons.  The song went to #2 in the U.S.A. and #22 on the British charts and still shows up as a hit for Bill Parsons.

In the 1960's, Bare moved from rock n' roll to straight country, and had a string of hits, including some that crossed over to the pop charts.  These pop-cross overs led to Bare's inclusion in Dave Marsh's 1989 book, The Heart of Rock and Soul: The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever Made. Marsh listed two entries by Bobby Bare, both from 1963:  Detroit City at #337 and 500 Miles Away From Home at #901.

While it wasn't included in Marsh's list, Bare had another hit in 1966 that's become a standard.   Bare recorded the original hit version of "Streets of Baltimore," a song written by Tompall Glaser and Harlan Howard in 1966.  While there were many cover versions, an early 1970's cover by Gram Parsons is a definitive version, and was recently topically featured on the HBO series The Wire, as the show is set in Baltimore.

In the mid to late 70's, Bare had a series of humorous novelty hits, including Numbers, The Winner, and the sublimely ridiculous Dropkick Me, Jesus.  (Note: The word "tempestion" appears to have been entirely made up for this song,)

This syndicated show was produced by the Clayton Webster Corp. of St. Louis, Missouri.  Incorporated in January of 1978, the Clayton Webster Corp. also produced the "Retro Rock" show, syndicated from 1981 to 1984.  The "outro" to the show says that the Live From The Lone Star Cafe show was carried on "more than 200 American radio stations...every week," which gives us an approximate number of copies pressed.  The numbering sequence on the these shows included a three letter code of "LSC" followed by a year and and an ascending show number:  LSC-7901, LSC-7902, LSC-7903, etc. I've seen copies of Live From The Lone Star Cafe series with numbering indicating the show ran from 1979 to 1981 It looks like Clayton Webster got out of syndication of live concerts by the mid-80s.
