I replaced the Genesis Box Set files with the inferior version from the original "The
Shepherd" bootleg, because these versions have not been released in that form. I "brushed
up" the sound a bit (de-hissing, a bit more bass), but most importantly, I deleted the
audience applause at the end of the tracks and replace the last missing second of every
song with already existing ending of the recording.

I replaced the existing version of Stagnation with the Archive I version, which
was a little better than the existing one.

I took the BBC6 rebroadcast and added the extra mix of Harold The Barrel as a bonus
track. The Fountain Of Salmacis was thought to be lost, but eventually rebroadcasted
on 14 March 2008.

The pre-FM BBC transfer was taken and tracks put together, so the setlist actually
reads Introduction/TFOS/Intro, Story of Old Henry/The Musical Box/Band Intros, TROTGH.

Recording Date: 25 September 1972
Venue: Studio T1, Kensington House, Shepherd's Bush
City/Country: London, England

First Broadcast: 09 November 1972
Sources:
  BBC 6Music Rebroadcast (Sky) > FM
  *BBC Master DAT > Pre-FM
I replaced the pre-FM version of Twilight Alehouse and Watcher Of The Skies of the
transferred DAT tape with the rebroadcasted versions of BBC6 on the 16 July 2008,
because the sound is a bit better. Of course it is arguable that pre-FM versions are
better, but the broadcasted versions sounded a little "fresher".
