Producers comments: recordings of the first two speakers are slightly artificial sounding due to noise removal. (ground hum-electrical noise)
Faith nolan recording has some distortion due to mixer input overloading,
not due to high recording level - cheap mixer now replaced with shiny new mixer ;-)
