DAT(2) to DAT(1) upgrade. Old source had a moderate amount of dropouts/pops whereas this is a clean transfer. Recording ends during Porcelina of the Vast Oceans.
This DAT was 32khz and the old circulating DAT was likely upsampled to 44.1 for CD distribution. The original master tape may also have been 32khz.
Thank you to Mike Ziegler for the recording and to Matt Reeder for analysis.
