Sources:
Tracks 01 to 06 - Direct transfer from master cassette tape
Tracks 07 to 12 - Sourced from low gen. or master cassette tape that appeared on the "Misplaced" CD bootleg, 2015
Tracks 13 to 15 - Direct transfer from low gen. or master cassette tape
Tracks 16 to 17 - Direct transfer from original "Bedge" cassette tape
Tracks 18 to 21 - Direct transfer from master cassette tape
Track 22 - Sourced from 'The Power of Independent Trucking' blog. This is most likely originally sourced from a 1st gen tape that was in Peter Hook's tape collection at the time the 'Heat and Soul' box-set was sourced. It’s apparent that this recording of “Ceremony” was originally recorded on cassette tape, contrary to certain opinions
Tracks 23 to 29 - Direct transfer from low gen. or master 1/4" reel-to-reel
