Earliest CD pressing for the U.S. market. Disc made in Japan with CBS/Sony inner hub. Inserts printed in U.S.A. No barcode or UPC on tray inlay. TECHNICAL INFORMATION, as printed on inner back cover of booklet: Recorded in Masonic Auditorium, Cleveland, October 20, 1978 Microphones: Schoeps Colette Series Recorder: Soundstream Digital Tape Recorder Console: Studer Model 169 Monitor Speakers: ADS Model BC-8/II Power Amplifier: Threshold Model 4000 During the recording of the digital transfer and the subsequent transfer to disc, the entire audio chain was transformerless. The signal was not passed through any processing device (i.e., compression, limiting or equalization) at any step during production. Sampling frequency conversion of Telarc's Soundstream digital transfer to the Compact Disc format was accomplished with the Studer SFC-16 sampling frequency converter. The digital information was not subject to any analog intersteps, thus preserving the integrity of the original digital master.
