      "notes": "This sbd is on the muddy side, and it's quite possible that there is more to this lineage.   \n\n--The Other One cuts out during the 2nd verse, presumably seconds before a segue in the Cryptical reprise, which is completely missing\n--Cosmic Charlie cuts in shortly after its beginning\n--Feelin' Groovy Jam in Dark Star starting at 17:08\n--probably several minutes at least are missing off the end of Dark Star.  It is not known whether it segued directly into Alligator, or a different song that is now missing formed the bridge, or it could have come to a dead stop before Alligator was started.   \n--only the last few seconds of the first Alligator remain.  \n--Sound Forge was used to correct the pitch of the recording and boost the amplitude for this seed. I cannot be sure, but I believe the previous shn seed is also from the same source and is therefore about a quarter step flat regarding pitch. If you aren't sure whether you have a pitch corrected copy, check against the timings listed on this seed.",
