Comments

A big upgrade to "First Time in New Mexico / Joshua Tree Las Cruces", the other titles that are around, or the 'Analog 3rd version'. Now, this tape sounds pretty clear and powerful, and overcomes the muddy sound of the others. Not perfectly clean though, but very good anyway. The transfer from analog source to digital mode was done by Scott Zumsteg.

About minors, Bullet the Blue Sky contains a skip at 0:48 that kills some seconds of the song. Running to Stand Still contains an edit right after the song has finished. Another skip occurs at 02:22 in Sunday Bloody Sunday, that only cuts off a pair of seconds. It seems Minerva got a little out of battery by New Year's Day, so from that point the tape sounds slightly muffled just on a few occasions.
