| To stop you downloading too much utter rubbish a key is provided to give you a guide as to recording quality and content. The guide to recording quality (that is the quality of the original from which the mp3 was taken) should be fairly helpful especially if you don't like listening to bootlegs that were recorded on ancient mono cassette decks at the back of noisy auditoriums.
To give you some idea as to the content of the files the "best" from each section will be marked. This is intended only as a guide and is based on my personal tastes that may change from day to day.
