Media Flac   1 disc
Notes "Horrortrip in the Paperhouse" part 2
Tech Notes "This started life as an attempt to upgrade the Can bootleg
"Horror Trip in the Paper House". Remastered versions of some Can
bootlegs turmed up so it was a good time. I had always been annoyed
by the fact that I`m So Green - Spoon (Improvisations) was cut. Being a complete
arse I forgot all about the time restriction of 70 minutes. Hence I then had 2 CD's
to fill. Anyway there is a lot of good Can material around from that period. So Here it
is "Horror Trip in the Paper House Deluxe Edition" Not really for the serious Can fan but
if you fancy a little dip into the period this will serve you well

Editing (Nero 6):
------------------
Converted to mono (left track had almost no glitches)
Edited out tape flip during 'Bring me Coffee' & moved the first 1.42 from track2
Edited out all abrupt applause / announcement fragments
Removed a few other small glitches
Smoothed out track transitions, to make a continuous show

Transfer: Nero > EAC > Flac Frontend (level 6)
Quality: Worth a solid A now
-----------------------------

The original download was basically good sounding, but admitted that there were long
glitches in the right channel, especially in 'Bring me Coffee', so as indicated in the
comments which claimed the whole thing was mono, I patched in the left channel to cure
the glitches.

Imagine my surprise when it was obvious that the (mono) patches sounded much better than
the rest of the post, so I did this version which is mono (left channel only) and it
sounds absolutely terrific for this vintage.

Other minor editing described above also helped to transform this into a really good
listen...

...Enjoy !!

Editing (Nero6)
Selected Right channel (mono) after comparison with Left
Fixed dim / quiet first 2.21 of d1t2

Gentle 2db Nero noise reduction, without affecting the music

Quality: Worth the A+ now

The original seeder 'humanoidboo' said..
"This is a great probably my all-time favourite live CAN recording, right up there with
the 1972 WDR broadcast) show in excellent soundboard quality, though a bit hissy in places
... and it's got Damo on vocals!"

Well...I already upgraded his other favorite (WDR 1972) and the original seeder (booomboom)
commented... "Respect, the result is more than excellent"

So...Now here is the Paris 1973 upgrade with the encouragementof both 'humanoidboo' and
'Vierstein91'. Quick attempts at remixing determined that the original is a mono recording
with heavy 'fake stereo' processing, confirmed by A/B comparison of L-mono and R-mono
versions, of which the Right channel is significantly clearer, especially as you can now
hear Holger's bass better, so that is the basis of this upgrade.

I also did other fixes (above), added track markers, a little noise reduction and smoothed
track transitions, resulting in an even more enjoyable listen, especially on headphones,
that fits on a single CD-R90 if your burner / software can handle them (most can now), so...

...Enjoy!!
