Notes:
The tape was flipped during Franklins Tower (disc 2 track 2 at 6:51).
The tape was again flipped in the Space > Not Fade Away transition (disc 3 track 4 at 0:12).
These breaks were spliced together with NERO wave editor.
NERO wave editor was also used to make volume adjustments and to surgically remove distracting claps one at a time.
Finally Audacity was used to dither the files to 16 bit and then the FLAC conversion was performed at level 8.
As a note, the Sony ecm-280 cardiod microphone specification page describes the frequency response as 30 to 18KHz.
No Eq or Noise reduction used.
There is a slight fluttering noise in the master cassettes during the quieter sections.
Thanks to John Musgrave for the use of his recording equipment.
