COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-197:
This is the other chapter in the Daves collection. Up to now with very minor exceptions everything has been taken from the master tapes. But of course Mr D had access to many others also. In his colelction there is a large number of U-Matic tapes. If you don't know u-matic is the studio standard video tape used back then by many TV studios. The tapes are huge easily 6-8 times the size and weight of a vhs tape and of course far better resolution / quality.
I have checked thru all of these and many again are much better quality than circulating copies. It is to this resource we go next. These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out.

NB: If you liked D045 ("Stage Diving in Dubuque"), you'll probably like this one. I did, and I do; hence, I give this a "must-have" 5 Stars for the passionate stage diver on stage and up against the wall during "She Belongs To Me."
