here is the info file from Dime
Over the past couple of months I having been trading to obtain all the cover versions Husker Du performed that have been recorded in the best possible quality. I think I got them all if anyone knows any different or can identify the first track please let me know.
Rather than take a chronological approach I have designed disc 1 for repeated play with all the best sounding stuff steadily improving from half decent AUDs at the beginning to the SBDs at the end. All the worse AUDs and little snippets and crowd singalongs are on Disc 2 for completeness sake. Iíve used cross fades on Disc 1 and tried to even out the volume levels to make this as smooth a listen as possible. Disc 2 I just used fade ins and fade outs at the beginning and end of each track, the volumes levels were fairly consistent anyway.
Thanks to PH for his invaluable database to research this lot and to Matt, Lasse and Scott for recent trades that have made this possible.
