That's all very good, Tapeboy (Is that your real name!). Now, could you explain
to us average listeners the difference between sound board tapes and pro tapes,
and how would you know the difference?

I have two bootleg tapes... er, I mean I have heard them; "Young Vic '71" and
"New Orleans '71". They both sound the same to me. None of them are as good
as what has been officially released from Young Vic, but I would call them 
professionally recorded as opposed to recorded by someone in the audience.

Is the only difference between sound board tapes and "Pro tapes" the number
of tracks?
