Wow Alimarea, this is like an episode from CSI or another one of those
forensic cop shows.  That's crazy what you found.  If you fool with
Histogram Curves you can do stuff like bring images out of total darkness,
I stumbled onto a histogram curve nightvision technique that lets one shoot
live bands in total darkness without flash.  I only have a couple Jandek LPs
(vinyl records) but it will be fun to poke around with them and really look
at them deeply and see what the histograms reveal.

That would be hilarious if somehow you got a Ready For The House LP that was
a bootleg!  It would take a bootlegger with a real sense of humor (or maybe
one touched by a stroke of genius) to fake Jandek records.
