=======================================
Production Notes:
–file-quality goal: maximum kbps allowed in MP3 format (320kb), preferably discreet stereo; my song file names report either original source quality (ex: “wasFlacVBR895kb”) or current quality (ex: “192kb”)
–silence pre and post song cut via MP3 Direct Cut program; simple fade in or out applied as needed; without re-encoding and thus without losing audio fidelity
–used MP3 Gain program to normalize as an album without degrading audio fidelity (lossless method called ReplayGain sets volume only and is reversible and does not re-encode)
–current target length for my eclectic mixes is 80 minutes, to fit on a CD (been using this duration for decades and think I’ll stick with it)
======================================

The following songs were added to this mix to bring it from 1 hour long to my 80-minute target length, taking 6 songs from the retired TDM mix “Forehence Forever Love” compiled in July of 1996, 1 month after this mix:
A Beautiful Morning (The Rascals)
Green-Eyed Lady (Sugarloaf)*
Kissing My Love (Bill Withers)
Love & Liberte (Gipsy Kings)
Sitting (Cat Stevens)
Weekend (Tim Weisberg)
* = this song is a repeater on the lost TDM mix “Free-Feel Summer Reel”
