Although those with a trained ear may notice a tiny bit of wow/flutter on the guitar and piano possibly from the vinyl master or the playback turntable (or other unknown tape in the lineage) it either disappears (or your brain masks it after a bit of a listen???) I was exhilarated for days after hearing this the 1st time but I did think the applause was a bit loud and harsh on the vinyl sourced tracks. I spent several hours doing what I could about that but did not touch the music/banter in the least. original SHN files and Artwork are from this torrent release ----------------------------------------- Archival Recording & Preservation: BBC Initial Mastering: Living Legend Records Digital Remastering: WOLF Artwork: WOLF Tree Administration: B R U N O ----------------------------------------- I hope the small change of reducing the applause level does not in any way offend them. Their work is in WIDE circulation and I am clearly labeling my changes Eddie Burks eburksATyahooDOTcom
