Additional recording e release notes:
Tracks
1–3 were recorded live in Acquasparta, Italy, on May 1, 1998. The source audio
was captured from a video camera recording and later transferred to digital
format.
Track 4
was sourced from stereo recordings of rehearsal sessions held in August 1998.
Track 5
was recorded in a home studio environment.
The
entire album was transferred from the original cassette master to digital
format between December 2000 and January 2001 by Alessandro Gennari.
Overdubs
by Nicola Cruciani were added during various recording sessions between 2015
and 2023.
The
original CD, referred to as the “Cd Zero,” was privately archived and recorded
without an official title.
The first
titled edition, ? Was It A Cat I SaW?,
featured no overdubs and was released on MySpace in March 2007.
This
version was later reissued on Jamendo and Bandcamp in 2015 under the title AD Bootleg.
In 2024,
the title was changed in I MAIUS MCMXCVIII for the latest Bandcamp edition,
which incorporates the overdubbed material.
