Transfer notes:
The master tapes had to be flipped every 22-23 minutes (and that's not as easy as flipping a cassette over).
Spliced so that you may not even notice where.

Reduced bandwidth from DAT tape at Long Play speed (32 KHz sample rate has a max. freq. of 16 KHz).

This tape was very shrill and the original attempt to combat this was by pushing the 200-400Hz band up by an amazing 18dB.
Helped to add something down there but it went from shrill to hollow sounding.
This time Har-Bal was used to balance the frequency spectrum adding some warmth and reducing the brittleness in the high end.

There was a problem in the recording equipment creating intermittent thumping sounds.
Maybe a poor connection made these noises but they were in the low frequency band so the eqaulization made them louder.
Hundreds of these noises were attenuated just during the Midnight Rambler Jam > Locomotive Breath transition.

Additionally hundreds of small tape dropouts and loud claps were individually masqued using an assortment of iZotope tools.
Quite often just copy and paste from the opposite channel for the dropouts (it is mono).
Much better without those technical issues distracting from an inspired performance.
Thanks go out to Dub and Ken for this nice recording.
