I would like to point out that the Tompkins Square release does not  
simply have the "filtered" versions of Ken's release. Yours truly re- 
mastered all the tracks from the original transfers. I believe Ken  
was happy. The release was nominated for a Grammy for best historical  
release.

Cheers,

Marcos
