Fine updated Fastone art is also included - thanks !!

Quality: A for the recording, A++ for the performance and historic vintage
==========================================================================

Prompted by post of the inferior sounding Mother Sky boot rip (one of the sources I rejected for v1), I have been asked to re-seed this 'Definitive Edition' and the only change is the addition of artworks and flac tags. The music in unaltered, but files are changed by tagging, so you do not need this if you have the original v2 and do not care about flac tags.

My original v1 remaster (to mono) used the best sounding of 3 different previous Dime posts. The recent posting of new sources 1 & 2 caused me to check and both are slightly better sounding, source 1 being the best, although again they were also mono sources with a little "fake stereo enhancement" somewhere in the lineage and both with the right channel being the best quality, so I did the remastering above to combine the best of all the sources and was very pleased with result.

Now Flambay has kindly advised speed correction which gives a further improvement, to which I added a few more small changes, so here now is V3 which is hopefully the definitive edition.

TomP post on Dime, March 2016...Enjoy !!
