NoteThe original recording was in excellent shape but IMHO did need some attention to fix a few issues, mainly:
- Wrong speed/pitch (I determined that the original plays +51 cents sharp)
- some rough edits due to cassette swap & stop
- slightly excessive tape hiss
- insufficient bass response (IMO)

The basic details of the mastering applied to the original 24bit/96Khz version from djscomics seed on Dime (using Wavelab6) are as follows:
A: edit/fill/crossfade cassette swap & stop points (to disguise the abrupt/rough edits)
B: Fix mono portion of Track 1 'Bohemian Rhapsody (Opera)'
C: Time stretch by 103.1% (equals -51 cent pitch change)
D: Slight de-hiss
E: EQ / Multiband Compression / Limiting (-0.2dB max) / Dithering to 16bit (bass boost & tighten up the sound)
F: WAVs edited to fit on to 2xCDRs (with overlap) plus fade in/out (using the same CD break point as the original)
G: track split
