Notes:

Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com. Completed on October 8, 2004.

Kudos to Rob for a wonderful transfer.

Although the transfer is excellent, the source is midee sounding, and unfortunately, is a "kick mix."  The entire spectrum was shifted to make for a fuller, and more even sound at flat setting. Unfortunately, the low bass had to be restrained to keep the kick from being too obtrusive. Bertha Remasters are recorded to be played flat.
