Source is Unknown

I thought longand hard, and discussed with many people the sacred nature of a 1947 recording and what was "ethical" to do to it as a remaster. The purist's answer is: Nothing. However, This source just did not pass tests levels wise, but my oh my, what a source. And thus i did what my ears and analysises told me (and what i discussed with some knowledgable people), and that was to make a version that is in the range of acceptable levels. I chose after a long ponder to apply x-crackle, as the levels increase made the crackle almost another member of the band.
There fore, 2 sources are seeded in this torrent:

++one exactly as I acquired it for you purists. Lowlevels make as is unlistenable for most stereos++.

++the second is a remaster in wavlab.
Levels raised w L3mulitmaximizer; waves x-crackle applied; dithered L3type one ultra;tracked in wavlab; flac frontend level8 SBEfree

NOTE: the following setlist accompanies this but doesnt seem to exactly match in order, though the quote is on this source about the jungles of jazz, so it's assumed to be from the same broadcast. Whatever this is; the music is absolutely essential. Check out track 7 and the skat and crowd. Just awesome.
