Notes

A good sounding audience recording. The recording level seems to have been set too high by the taper, so some of the louder tracks have some distortion. The sound is somewhat reverberated and there is some crowd noise, but it is not an obscene amount. It sounds like a few seconds of the beginning of Pimpf are missing, and a few seconds from the beginning of Pipeline and Never Let Me Down Again are missing as well due to tape flips. I have repaired the fade between tapes toward the end of Black Celebration as best as I could using a gain envelope, and I did the same with a left channel dropout at the beginning of A Question Of Time. The recording has been speed-corrected as well to match the official "101" release.

Many thanks to darkdevoted for the cassette transfer and to Andreas (depechemodesweden) for lending him the cassettes. The tapes were purchased in a Stockholm record store, and seem to be of relatively low generation - probably AU2 or AU3.
