Patti Smith
December 25, 1971
The Poetry Project, St. Marks Church, New York City, USA

********************************
This source sounds better, clearer than the version now running on Dime at http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=176120
I think the Dime version has been subjected to a bad job of noise reduction, it sounds hollow. After I did a test to find out what bad noise reduction would do to this source, I found their spectral analyses looked the same and they sounded the same.

The Dime version also has the dedication--the first 13 seconds of track 2--cut out and stuck onto the start of the show. (Based on the cuts there on the Dime version, and the seamlessness there on this version.)

This torrent is nearly identical to the one distributed on the Patti mailing lists on a DVD I called "Dimeless"; I only changed the info.txt file and added the .md5 checksum. The Fingerprint, artwork, and FLAC files are identical.
********************************

Until 10 February 1971 was released this was the earliest Patti recording I'd seen.
