Editing notes
* Using iZotope's Time-Frequency Selection Tool and Spectral Repair module, I filtered out spots of feedback here and there.
* I used iZotope's De-Hum filter to remove a slight electric hum.
* No other EQ or noise reduction was applied to this recording.


Notes
The cassette-tape flip occurs at 7:41 into Track 8.

I received this 1st-gen cassette from Ben Windham (using Tommy Stevenson's master cassette) circa late 1997.
