Song information embedded with Stamp ID3 tag editor

This was mono and the right channel was quite noisy.
Once all the editing was completed that channel was dropped and single channel mono flac's were created.
A CD does not accept that format so for the CD friendly (16-44) version this was split back into 2 discrete mono channels.

Patch source courtesy of zappateers, THE place for anything Frank.


There are at least two known tapers of this performance.
This is considered the inferior sounding recorder at zappateers and it is not the best sounding.
Add the multiple generations of tape on the previously circulating copies and it really sounded poor.

So I find out that an inferior copy of Allen's recording has been in circulation.
My job is to at least make this from the master tapes so this source is worth archiving.
This is actually quite listenable even if it is considered the lesser of 2 sources.
Certainly a better copy now than what's been going around for years.

Uploaded a raw transfer of this to zappateers in 2011 that can still be found in the shoebox.
Thought this should be completed and shared so did the mastering in January 2015.

There were some issues to contend with before being able to share this.

The phase was off by 7 samples which was normal for Allen's TC-50 and this was corrected first.
A small Dc offset was then removed.
Some single channel dropouts were patched from the opposite channel.
Pops, ticks, microphone bumps and the loudest claps were found and repaired.

Tape started to warble pretty bad in "Wild Love".
You can hear the pause button being pressed just a little every now and then.
Settles down just in time for the tape flip.
Well this couldn't be included as the damage made it un-listenable.

The other source found at zappateers was used to fill in this portion of Allen's recording.
Also used to fill in the gaps from tape flips.
Some spectral adjustments were made to blend these 2 sources together.

The following Patches are not the best but good enough.
Track 08. Tom Snyder and the Red Spiders from NBC has a tape flip with the missing portion patched from an alternate source
Track 13. I Promise Not To Come In Your Mouth The patch to replace the damaged passages begins at 21:27 replacing the final seconds of "Promise" and all of "Wild Love" ending at 49:42
Track 14. Wild Love - there were major speed issues in this song so it was replaced-see previous line
Track 14. Wild Love - Another patch was created to overwrite the fade out fade in which smooth�s the tape flip out and it goes by now without drawing as much attention.
Track 15. Titties 'n Beer Inserted material lost from tape change/flip from alternate source
Track 23. Dinah-Moe Humm has a tape flip inside song and inserted the lost material from an alternate source
Track 23. A loud noise required snipping a few milliseconds out at 29:20.
** second encore call: tape stopped, spliced
note the alternate source was at 16-44 and the patches are not true 24 bit.


Nice of Allen to loan me his old tapes to share with you.
Some copies of Allen's old tapes did exist out there.
This is the first time the masters have been digitized.
This would be an upgrade of what you have already from this recorder
Not the best sounding, but decent and from the master cassettes
