Transferred & mastered by }{eywood. This show was recently release by Metallica in the And Justice for All box set, but that was a partial recording from the soundboard. This alternate AUD capture is the complete show (and sounds way better spectrally than Metallica's recording).
No lineage info for the tapes themselves other than they were sourced from Brian Emery. There were high frequency hums at 7.7-8khz and 15khz and a lot of blank spots in the tapes that needed repairing. The HF problems were attenuated with iZotope Rx, and the holes were filled by copy/pasting bits from other parts of the songs. The only patch from another show is a tiny bit of the beginning of Little Wing during the guitar solo (lost to a tepeflip), which is from Mountainview 9/30/89.
