/*comments on the speed-corrected version*/
Since the original ran a bit fast (as you can see, there's a good four minutes 
difference in the end), I had to change the sample rate to 40.1 kHz in SoundForge, 
then resample to 44.1 kHz.


/* original comments*/
Notes: From a "millionth generation" cassette bought in Argentina some 17 years 
ago by our friend Alejandro. For some reason this recording has not been heavily 
circulated, and is shrouded in mystery. We have no legitimate doubts as to the 
authenticity of this recording. It appears to be from a working set of demo tapes 
that were used as the actual blueprint for The Final Cut -the last album that Pink 
Floyd would release with Roger Waters in the lineup. In some places the difference 
between this and the actual release are subtle, and in other places, the 
differences are quite stark, changing the overall tone of some of the meanings 
inferred from the actual release. We won't be listing all of the differences here, 
so you can enjoy your own personal exploration of this work in progress.

Free Range Pigs is releasing this volume for its historical significance. 
While the sound quality is not "disappointing", the recording does "show it's 
age" in some places. We're not exactly sure, but it sounds as though this was 
recorded in a professional studio, so it is very likely that somewhere in this 
big world, a sonically superior copy exists.
