Known flaws:

- Friend of the Devil cuts in at the beginning.  This was patched with the Schoeps source from :00 to :14
- Tape flip in Drums.  This and a few seconds of slightly degraded tape at the beginning of the second side were patched with the Schoeps source, from 3:50 to 4:14.

All patches made in CE Pro with levels matched and crossfades.

Quality notes: This is a truly excellent FOB; it's the reason I got into recording at 24 bit, I just didn't know it until now.  IMHO this sounds better than the Schoeps source on archive.org (which is still excellent, and used to patch a couple of spots in the second set).  First, it sounds like it was taped right in the Phil zone, my door and windows were rattling even with the stereo at moderate volume.  Second, Jerry and all the other instruments sound clearer, fuller and warmer, with more definition and separation.  It sounds a ghost of a hair's ghost away from being a Healy matrix.


Many thanks to Tim Alexander for lending me these phenomenal masters!
