all vinyl sources. there's nothing in this that couldn't have physically existed by the end of 1988 :) except maybe our telephones are dumber.

I don't understand what this is. Did you recreate The JAMs' records from original sources?

a fan compilation. i took recordings of the original vinyl records that folks have made & are floating around on P2P file share programs (ie. soulseek), used a compressor to get them all to match each other, then edited them into my own sequence, with careful attention paid to spacing and track seperation, so that the whole thing flows from track-to-track as if it had have been professionally mastered.

if you mean did i use 'the 45 edits' to recreate 'wtf'sgo', no. that would be a fun future project, b/c i could make something in 24/48, but for this CD quality collection the best option available was the 1992 norwegian CD bootleg. you can tell by the occasional point of surface noise that it was taken from one of the original vinyl copies (a good number were actually sold in '87 before the swedish cornfield incident, they're out there aha just people seem to guard them for some reason).
