Notes:
1. The original transfer was done back in July (parts 1 & 2) and September (part 3) 2000. No additional filters or anything else have been applied if I remember correctly. After the EAC-extraction in January 2007 for the files present here, only a light hiss reduction was applied.
2. New splits added to get the session tracks devided from any talk. So if you don't want any of the DJ talk or interview, just download tracks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 20, and 22 only. But please note that intros and outros of songs have been cut off because of the forementioned talking.
3. DJ talk in Dutch, but most of it is simply an announcement of the session tracks or introduction and translation of the interview.
4. According to the compilers "Rocket Man" was originally written by Tom Rapp of Pearls Before Swine, and later made into a hitsingle by Elton John. THIS IS NOT TRUE! What is true, is that on the Pearls Before Swine album "The Use Of Ashes" (Reprise 1970) a song called "Rocket Man" appears, but this is a completely different song! However, this version is absolutely amazing!!!
