| Notes | Original files were verified upon decoding, run through Gold Wave for pitch alteration, then re-encoded to flac. There were also some strange rhythmic clicks at the beginning of "Birds" which I fixed as much as I could. Therefore the lineage of this torrent may be stated as: Vinyl > Maxell XLII cassette > Wav > Flac > TLH > Wav > GoldWave to repair pitch (-1 + 38 cents) > TLH > Flac Unknown original source, but sounds like a ROIO captured from the PA stack. Sound Quality is full & upfront like a soundboard, with occasional audience sounds nearby (but not too nearby). Between the clean full sound and the lack of negatives like crowd interference, hiss or (much) tape distortion, this is IMO an astonishly good Transband recording (maybe the best available), and very much worth the effort of fixing so we can all hear it at correct pitch. SBE note: the original torrenter notes taking this recording from a vinyl bootleg that had the songs out of sequence; artifacts from this vinyl sourcing (and sequencing) may occur. Random sampling before upload suggested a clean copy |
