2011 Transfer Details...
Low Gen Cassette > TEAC Esoteric R-9000 (deck) > Korg MR-1 (A>D unit) > DSDIFF file > Audiogate (downsample to 16/44) > WAV > Sound Studio (tracking) > xACT (fix SBE, flac level 5)

Recorded from the RCA outs on the deck to the balanced ins on the Korg, using the best, shortest cables available.
Audiogate downsampled the DSDIFF file to a 24/96 WAV file, Sound Studio split it into tracks, xACT created the FLACs, fixed SBEs & writ the tags.

Mixing Desk Recording / likely 1st or 2nd Gen Cassette from the punkjazz library.
The last 45 minutes of the show. Either there are only a few songs missing from the beginning, or this is the 2nd side of the tape and there is a lot more missing.
This is all John's hardcore compositions, and not too many Naked City shows play out like that. The first song cuts in, and there is either a tape flip or cut between Blood Is Thin & Kaoru. Before the last song, John jokes with the band about playing Bonehead again for some asshole in the crowd, so that was probably played earlier in the set. The band leaves with no encore at the end.
