Sir B McKenzie * Fades out & back in 75% of the way through due to (I assume) the original cassette flip. There are a few bursts of Walk Awhile over the into to Dirty Linen that sound to me like some sort of tape editing glitch. Hard to work out what happened, but I've left it, as the only alternative would have been to cut out the spoken intro to the next track. The very last drumbeat of Sloth cuts off suddenly instead of decaying naturally, suggesting another dodgy edit on the source tape. There seem to be some audible artifacts from whatever noise reduction was performed on the source tape before Mark got hold of a copy, but there's not much can be done about that at this stage. It's not too bad though. I tried to correct the variations in volume that occurred throughout this recording, with reasonable success. I also attempted to fix a few left channel dropouts with less success, but it's better than it was. If you have facilities to burn 90 minute CDRs, this set will fit on one CD. I've created artwork for both single & double disc versions & it's included on the SHN disc. If you prefer to burn to a single 90 minute CDR, you should use the alternate versions of tracks 07 & 08 from the 90 min CDR folder in preference to the other versions, as they don't have fades added (although the difference is barely noticable). The back cover art for the single disc version is also in this folder. |
