The newest and greatest version (ha), 
seeded 10/7/01. This seed combines the 16-track master reel 
(so-called "dank") source with the between-song banter that was 
edited out of it. The splices should be, with one or two exceptions, 
inaudible. Full text file to follow.

Source: 
SBD>16 Track Master Reels>DAT@44.1K>DAT>DAT>WAV>SHN
DAT>WAV via Sony SDT-9000 DDS drive using VDAT 0.6f 
(see error logs below)
WAV was edited in Soundforge 4.0 (crossfading of reel cuts between 
songs, no music was disturbed except for Sugar Magnolia)
WAV>SHN via CDWAV 1.53>MKW 0.97b

The songs from the reels were originally edited down to DAT very 
tightly, almost no banter is present in this version.

Known Flaws: the first few notes of Sugar Magnolia were missing 
and were patched in from the circulating Gans CD source.

The following spots were edited using pencil tool in Soundforge 
(small bits of analog static removed):
d1t01, 2:18 - left channel click - smoothed, still slightly audible
d1t01, 2:20-2:23 - left channel static - smoothed, still slightly audible
d1t06, 2:12 - pop - fixed
d2t01, 14:28 - right channel crackle - fixed
d2t05, 3:37 - right channel click - fixed
d2t05, 4:13 right channel click - fixed
d2t05, 04:18 - right channel static - smoothed, still audible
d2t05, 04:45 - right channel static - fixed
d2t05, 04:00-05:00 - some other static, smoothed, but still audible
d2t05, 5:05 - right channel click- still slightly audible
d3t01, 0:28 - two right channel clicks - fixed
d3t01, 0:38 - right channel click - fixed
d3t01, 8:06, 8:11 - right channel crackles - fixed
d3t01, 26:29 - right channel click - fixed

There are a few other minor analog anomalies that were left alone:
d1t01, 2:02 click in right channel
d1t01, 2:26 slight pop
d1t07, 3:48 click
d2t01, 6:00 faint click
d2t04, 10:12 pop
d2t05, 3:36 click
d2t05, 3:42 click
d3t01, 28:24 click
d3t04, 5:10-7:50 intermittent analog buzzing in right channel

There's probably some more to be found, however, all are quite minor
