Pre-fm ½ track master > cassette > wav > soundforge remastering > cdr > EAC > flac

Changes Made (Nero 7):
Nero Noise Print NR (all tracks), worked very well, reduced hum too
Cross-mixed d1tr01-4 (75:25), d1tr05 & all d2 (70:30)
- Bass /drums clearer & more dynamic, fixes balance offset, further noise reduction
Reduced left channel d1tr05 & all d2 by 5% to centre stereo balance
Fixed glitches at 7.00 (d1tr01), 0.12 & 0.25 (d1tr02)
Fixed discontinuity between d1tr01 & tr02
Fixed balance variation in first 1.34 of d1tr05 & first 0.25 of d2tr02
Applied slight treble EQ to match original post

Transfer: flac > Nero 7 > Flac Frontend (level 6)

Quality: A++
---------------

The original is a great sounding post, but with a fair amount of hiss and hum, plus the
sound is quite 'phasey' (balance offset, instruments not clearly located in the stereo
image). There are also 2 slightly different sounding sources (a mention in the original
comments) so I fixed all this plus some more minor editing (details above) and it now
sounds really great - especially as you can now hear Percy Jones dynamic bass playing
much more clearly....

...Enjoy !!
