The original source was used to restore the stereo signal for the right channel drop during Brain Damage, increasing the gain of the right channel to make the drop less obvious, although the level of hiss goes up, in my opinion it has enough fidelity to warrant its restoration instead of dropping it altogether and using the left channel to make it mono as was done on the Rev.1. The 2nd gen cassettes (unverified) from which this was transferred consist of a few distinctly different sounding parts, the first source change occurs after CWTAE where there's a tape flip, fades out and restarts again before the beginning of Echoes, then switches to mono and back to stereo right after the end of the song (and before a loud belch right into the microphone). There's some tape damage with a short cut at around 22:09 into Echoes. The second source change occurs during On The Run which also fades out and restarts again, I edited this to make it play seamlessly. The third source change was trickier because TGGITS fades out at the very start and fades in again with 5 secs repeated and some tape damage after that because of a tape flip. The War Memorial RoIO (which looks lossy, no frequencies above 15kHz) also has (a bigger) part of TGGITS repeated but the first part doesn't have the tape damage. I took a 15 secs segment from this, adjusted the speed and replaced the damaged spot. Note February 2019: the described anomalies (except the channel drop during Brain Damage) are all more or less native to the analog source transfer. There appear to be at least three different analog to digital transfers with different lineage in circulation. To my ears this 2nd gen sounds the best of the ones I had available to compare.
