notes:

Those familliar with the Montreux studio sessions will understand
the editing work which has gone into this project. The film includes
a multitude of studio takes of varying lengths but probably averaging
about 1 minute each - some considerably less, some rather more.
These are fascinating, yet it can be quite frustrating when a take
finishes and a lengthy discussion, a splice, or some other scene
follows before the music resumes at a different point in the song

and/or different stage in a song's evolution.

Having found a 1 hour video with an exceptional stereo soundtrack
a good 12 or so years ago, I couldn't resist trying out the digital
editing functions on my new minidisc machine. Augmenting the
soundtrack with my old 120 min video, of lesser quality, I compiled
everything down into some semblance of order.

The result resembles sizeable chunks of total songs. Bear in mind
that there are many sections missing making it impossible to truly
produce a complete song: to be even this complete meant chopping and
changing between what were obviously different recording sessions,
culled from completely different sections of each video and combining
patches between the two source videos.

Digging out the minidisc today, I find myself amazed that it does

actually sound halfway coherent and indeed quite listenable.
