notes: 3-19-2005

My take numbers are not actual take numbers but rather the number of take included on this set

not to be confused with collectors data.

Tracks 32-44

were re-edited due to the originally sourced files having been found to be flawed with tiny micro gaps. New source files where found for replacements to the "Studio 69" set and those replacements have been edited to fix the "Mannish Boy Session Edit" bonus disk included with the Originally Seeded "Studio 69" Data sets.
