Total Time ::: 39:59

::: EXC quality stereo studio outtakes. Check samples for ear digestibility factor, tripout potential & digital booger ingestion.
::: Warts: Almost none remaining! Surely missed a few dullspots & a couple of glitches were only partially fixable but repaired most everything. Signal wasn't overloaded but sounds too hot & a drum mike was not well-placed (minor quibbles!).
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is a remastered & speed corrected version of http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=481308
::: This is a substantial upgrade as original was VERY slow & had 100s of glitches & electric pops - ALL now repaired.
::: MANY thanks to DIMER traink for turning us onto the original version of this excellent recording.
::: #9 is a different mono SBD or live in studio source, with an audience & EXC quality.
::: Except for #2, I have NO confirmed song titles, so if you know 'em, do tell!
::: Booger Band never issued a version of "Feel A Pain" but Hydra covered it on their 1st album.

Recording Information ::: unknown recording studio/equipment -> master analog stereo reel(s) -> unknown generations (not many!) -> unknown generation Maxell XLII-S cassette (traink's copy) > wavs > flacs.

Playback 2014-02-08to10 ::: flacs -> Trader's Little Helper -> wavs -> Audacity (normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch / dropout / bump / pop / click / dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, speed fixes, NO equalisation) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2014-02-22.
Detailed remastering notes :
- Tracks 1-8 changed speed +3% for averaged overall single digital correction.
- Track 9 changed speed +3.8 for single digital correction (different original source tape).
- Fixed offset every 2 minutes throughout recording.
- Fixed level/volume issues.
- Removed lots of electrical popping in right channel in #1 & 2 sections of them in left channel of #2.
- Fixed hundreds of dropouts, dullspots & smoothed out some fades.
- Fixed many very bad glitches in #9 (possibly from sticky tape transfer) & fixed major dropout/splice.
- EXC quality overall but something singes the ears like brickwalling - but it's not. Possibly EQ would help but it's out of my league.

Line-up ::: Will Boulware - keyboards - Hammond B3, electric piano, vocals // Ted Trombetta - electric guitars // Joel Maloney - drums, vocals // ? - electric bass**.
(** Will Boulware supposedly played keyboard bass in the band but some of this possibly an actual bass player).

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. In fact, the band supposedly had NO commercial releases. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 008 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! Thanks to DIMER traink for the transfer & upload of this source ::: Corrections welcome ::: It took me a couple of days to get around to listening to more than a couple of minute sample of this & I was a really knocked out. It seemed too slow though, kinda dragging, so I checked it out & sure enough - WAY offspeed. The recording really came to life with the correct pitch & then I went ahead & started remastering as it seemed a shame there were so many distractions. Almost everything was repairable since the tape was such low generation & most all the problems were fixable with modern sound software - it would have been unthinkably difficult years ago. Great band, very inventive & interesting. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
