Notes:

The tape was flipped during Drums (disc 3 track 1 at 9:46).
The tape was again flipped in the Sugar Magnolia > Sunshine Daydream transition.
To fill in the missing section 5 seconds from an alternate source recorded by Reinhart Hohlwein  (disc 3 track 7 from 0:01 to 0:06) was inserted.
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 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.
