Hey Now here's a discussion I like to see on trash talk! 

I have the DAT you describe as #1 below. Some strange glitches for sure
intermittant through the show, although they don't sound like the
"classic" digital noises usually associated with DAT tapes... more of a
fluttery kind of warped sound every once in a while, if that makes any
sense. 

I'd like to hear the #2 version you have, as you seem to indicate that
it doesn't have the errors that are present on version #1. 

As for the #3 you just downloaded, sounds like nothing new, except for
the interview part. That would be cool to hear.
