Notes on dating tracks 01 thru 04: The Taping Compendium Volume One lists the tape as "11/19/67, Unknown Studio Location Rehearsal". Deadlists calls it "11/1?/67, Rehearsal Studio Session". The Deaddisc discography page lists the following Anthem studio sessions: - Sept 1967, RCA Studio A, Hollywood; - Oct 1967, American Studios, North Hollywoood; - Dec 1967, Century Sound, New York; Olmsteead Studios, New York. To add to the confusion, db.etree lists the following studio tape dates: "10-20-67, American Studios", "11-19-67 Unknown location", and "12-02-67, Studio". Obviously, this material fits somewhere within this time period. TIFTOO cuts in during the first verse. The vocals are mostly missing, then fade up near the end of the Cryptical Reprise. All the vocals are missing from Alligator, although they can be heard distantly in the background. There's some tape-warble damage in the right channel during Lovelight. The Smokestack take was included as unlabeled filler on a vinyl bootleg LP of the Terrapin Station outtakes, thus the audible crackle and pop. It is not the same version that appears in ShnID-18124. Soundforge was used on all the tapes to make fades, and to adjust the levels in a few spots.
