| Notes | "Track 1 was in a sorry state in its original incarnation. It's a mono recording, but the levels on the two tape tracks were wildly varied and would occasionally drop out in one channel or the other. These anomalies were straightened out, gaps filled by cloning and levels fixed so that it sounds as normal as possible. There was also a repeated segment of a couple of lines; I don't know whether the original CD is that way, or it came that way on the recording I received, but I edited it out. This may be the best version of this track available now. All the recordings but two were at the wrong speed - some a little bit and some a lot, and all were out of phase. The makers of this CD added stereo reverb to everything (can't leave a good thing alone), but its effect is negated because after phase correction, the channels were combined to true mono. Levels were all over the place, with volume swells and dips in many places; those are fixed now, too. Occasional thumps that are often heard on tape recordings via microphone from tube radios have been eliminated. The early studio recordings were very, very dull. They have been brightened here so you can tell what's going on. No EQ was applied to the other tracks. All work was performed in 32-bit in Adobe Audition 3, and the tracks were split on sector boundaries in CD Wave. Please preserve the lossless quality of this material." |
