We only had one source for this one. I tried to improve it, but it will stay in lossy quality, of course. The original sound was muddy and a little saturated. So I dys-amplified the sound ( -3db), then I added a little more treble. I deleted the microgaps between the tracks and I reworked the transitions, so the tracks now start with the song.
Note that there were:
- tape noises at the end of “Honey Pie” that I preferred to keep.
- a gap at the end of “Slow Down” (perhaps one or two seconds are lost).
- a fade in/out before the encore
