addon023 BOBBY JEAN original

My thanks to hrubesh for his advice and assistance including providing samples from the circulating version and for providing the artwork.

This source has issues but is still superior to the low fidelity circulating version.

Issues

Drop out on Cover Me from 5:25 for 9 seconds. This track is missing entirely from the prior circulating copy so not possible to patch this.
Drop out on Sherry Darling. A rough edit from the circulating copy has been used to patch this.
Abrupt tape ending after Working On The Highway.
Uneven start to Bobby Jean after tape change. A rough patch from the circulating copy has been used to give the complete song by adding a couple of seconds that was missing. The addon23 is the unedited original.
There is a level of distortion plus what appear to be microphone problems throughout. Dont know if those are down to taper issues or subsequent transcription problems.

The original cassette tape labels are included as labels.jpg

Raw transfer of audience tapes.

Tapes obtained from a UK Record Fair in the early 1980s. Average to below average quality but despite this quite an enjoyable show to listen to. 2xTDK D90 cassettes.

Playback via Yamaha KX480 tape deck with dolby off and play trim set neutral.

Recorded using Audacity, exported as flac files and tracks split using CD Wave. No processing performed other than splits and edits mentioned when resolving issues.
