Below are the notes written by the fan who put together this fabulous 'labor
of love' (which quickly found its way into the hands of the folks at
Godfather Records.)

Recording Notes:
Source for Discs 1 and 2, except where noted, was a reel to reel recording
at 3 3/4 ips.

Transfer Path: Reel > Sony DTC-790 DAT (44.1 khz) > Hoontech Digital
Soundcard > PC > WAV

CDWave software used to record the WAV file and cut into song segments.

No attempt was made to enhance the limited stereo soundstage, or to remove
clicks/pops/hum
present in the original broadcast. These artifacts were part of the
broadcast itself, and were not
related to reception.

Pasting of missing segment plus limited EQ to boost low end applied to all
tracks by Cool Edit Pro software.

Track 203: Edit from another source (mono) used to replace missing segment
due to reel flip
from 2:43 - 4:02

Personal Notes:
Truly a labor of love...

August 15, 1975 - High Temp in NYC 85, Low 65, Wind 10mph avg, gusts to
15mph. No precipitation.

A breezy midsummer night in NYC, where all the heat was concentrated on the
corner of West 4th and Mercer in Greenwich Village, NY.

Lots of Springsteen fans (me included) couldn't get into the Bottom Line -
it usually seats 400, but there was
a larger than usual number of music industry seats reserved for these 10
shows (two shows each night
August 13-17.)

WNEW-FM broadcast the early show Friday night.

I've been searching for a complete copy of this broadcast since that night,
when
the mono reel to reel tapes I made had many missing pieces due to lots of
different reasons.
All of the bootlegs released by the profiteers were incomplete in some way,
minor or major.
Finally, in March 2004, nearly 29 years later. I found it. It is not the
final word on
this show in terms of sound quality, but it is the COMPLETE broadcast,
without anything missing.
Turn it on and listen to it just like you would have back in August 1975.
All the station
breaks and DJ chat and such are there.

Thanks to the many people involved in this project, from the tape source, to
those
who let me borrow reel to reel decks to get the dub to DAT, to others who
gave advice on
mastering procedures or supplied alternate sources. Your kindness will not
be forgotten.
