This specific version of this session is compiled from several different broadcasts in order to get the cleanest possible versions of the songs, with the least amount of cross-fading, DJ chatter and station idents. Because different broadcasts were used, the first two tracks do not fade cleanly into each other, and there is still some occasional DJ chatter between tracks, but all of the songs are now as complete as possible. I retained as much music as possible even if this meant including extra DJ chatter. "Boys Say Go!" now has a completed intro, but with about two seconds of "Tora! Tora! Tora!"'s fade out at the very beginning barely audible. "Big Muff" has the first few notes and last note more audible now due to less station ident talking over the music. "Photographic" and "Tora! Tora! Tora!" are not changed from previous versions.
