[b]Notes:[/b]

No rules for DVD-a yet. Scanned artwork at 600 dpi then resized. DVD was unencrypted so I ripped the 2 channel 24-bit 96kHz audio right off the DVD using ppcmripper. Please keep in mind that this is a very old recording, 1967 I believe, so its not going to be crystal clear but being on a DVD-A format doesn't hurt. Not a good representation of what DVD-A is capable of but good music nonetheless. It isn't authored exactly right and occasional analog noises are evident but these are minor annoyances. Also included captured images from the video extras on the disc. Highly Recommended and Enjoy!
