At first I worked on 3 versions (nzb, Jaap, mine) all coming from the same source and all with defaults. Then LTB send us his version (most likely the original source and a great improvement to what we had, in particular in correct speed and without channels problems. On this one not much was necessary to do:
- I amplified the sound (+1db) of course without saturation
- I deleted a diginoise in “Can You Follow?” at 15’ and at the end of this track.
- Another one in “Morning Story” (at 9s) and a tape flip at the end of the same track.
- On “Smiles and Grins” was a gap at 14’04 with some seconds lost (on all versions), I tried to upgrade it but it is still listenable. I also deleted some diginoise at 16’20
This is a good quality show for this era
