The new source was on Dime a few months ago. It is indeed a new source. I don't think that this new DAC release is a rip-off. The recording informations on the cover are true.

Hi MrsHop,
I was thinking the same as you, though I would actually be interested in the opening acts' sets. I haven't downloaded the new source but from what I've read on Dime the new source is more distant but does include full versions of JJF and UMT which in the past were marred by tape issues and/or incompleteness (have I got that right? Don't have my notes with me). So, the consensus is between the new and the old source you can now put together a complete show. Also, you might have seen this on CMR but the word is that Godfather are releasing the new source as a single disc in January. Hope this is of some help.

A complete show has already been uploaded on dime and is easily the best source for this show to date.
The main source is the better sounding TMOQ recording with the missing parts carefully added from the recently discovered "new" source.

Re that particular torrent (the Ken/Dub tape plus patches from the new source) let me quote a comment from the torrent thread by DocDondy :
"Hey, mate!
Wow, you did a fantastic job, really! BIG congrats and many, many (!) thanks for your meticulous job. I compared with my 1st gen.-off-Dub's-master-copy which I once received from my fave trade mate and low generation god Larry "Florida Kid" Clark, and feel inclined to report that:
1. your inserts are just about SEAMLESS. I have the alternate source too and you did the splice-in job so well that I really wouldn't be able to tell there are repairs if I didn't know better;
2. Your copy of Dub's recording sounds just as good as my 1st gen. copy (at least to my sore old ears) that it is pretty likely your copy might well be a 1st gen., too.
All other versions, especially the various silver boots (on Tarantura, Turd..., Oh Boy you name them) are tweaked and sound much worse. This is the pure, soundwise undoctored version - and it doesn't need any fumbling at frigging all (IMHO)"
Sounds great innit?
