Notes:

This show is so well-recorded it often passes for a soundboard, but it's just recorded close in direct line to the PA, probably to one side of the stage. You can hear audience applause and interaction from behind the taper.

Since JSBX shows are full-throttle psychobilly workouts, people seem to have some difficulty figuring out the setlists -- i.e. ROIO manufacturers. This boot in its original form was tracked with a few songs split in half and secondary parts listed as jams, along with some misidentified tracks. No mention made anywhere that the spouse guests on the final number, which is off Boss Hog's debut EP. Also no mention on the silver CD of the other cover (James Brown's "I Lost Someone"). There's a cross-fade at 45-minute mark between "The World of Sex" and "Train #2" which more than likely masks a cassette tape flip.

This was originally upped here by raindogs in April 2007 and then again by cousinit the following May. For this 23rd anniversary of the show, it was high time to give this a re-working, bringing out the levels a touch, and obviously finally get it right with re-tracking and labeling.

Over the years on dime, EZT, the Archival Group, and through all the various and assorted other trading groups online preceding that, and the CDR, DAT, and analog cassette traders which came before, I've gathered a moderate collection of items to share. I've helped with transfers (the Cactus and related uploads from over a decade ago here, and currently a bite out of the massive Stonecutter Archives), contributed setlists and corrections to many a torrent -- all the sort of things that don't raise one's share ratio. I've shared some of my masters back in the old snail mail days, but it's high time to give back more here from where I've received so much. I had meant to do a roll-out with something grand and possibly a series (Elegymart #1, #2, etc.), but that's been done countless times before.

At this point not only have we've all aged along with dime's existence, but our media and the equipment that can play it back has as well. So rather than any fanfare or concern over share ratio, consider this upload another step in a more diligent attempt to beat the time and to circulate the collection.

Enjoy,
elegymart
