the live multi-track recording, initially thought to be unusable after a rough reference mix was completed and other technical issues (the introduction of the band's rendition of jessie hill's "ooh poo pah doo" was not recorded, a mistake apologized for on the album's liner notes), were successfully edited and mixed down by producer/engineer ben mumphrey, who had attended the show and offered his services to biafra for the project. mumphrey did the editing and mixing on his own downtime at studio in the country in washington parish, louisiana (where he is the facility's general manager and chief engineer) between other commitments.
