Notes:

- Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual - DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com.  
- Completed on December 12, 2004. http://www.deadacated.com/BerthaRemasters.htm
- Source used 26933 via Tol, by Chris Ladner.
- Light Digital Noise Reduction was found with Spectral Analysis prior to Bertha Remastering.  
- The same DNR was found on source 12657, which is the source Chris used for 26933.  
- It is not known who applied the noise reduction, but they did a decent job, producing no audible artifacts.  
- The noise reduction had only minor effects on the remastering process. 
- Spectral Analysis also shows three different fingerprints for the soundboard portion.  
- This would tend to indicate that the soundboard portion did not all come from the same source. 
- The AUD patches are pretty rough.  I considered removing them, but decided to leave them in.  
- As the AuD portions transition back into the board, one gets a pretty good feel for the quality of this 72 board. 
- The soundboard mix is all over the place at the start.  
- No vocals on d1t02 until 5:47.  It takes a couple tracks to settle in. 
- Strangely, the channels were swapped towards the beginning of The Other One and I swapped them back.
- There are lots of small digiblips throughout. These were, most likely, caused during the transfer. 
- I removed Between 40 and 50 of them by editing individual samples. 
- In addition, a few fade - out/ins were added to clean up transitions.
- There is some very sweet sounding early 72 bass in this one.
- Enjoy!
