Transfer (circa March 2005): cassette > Nakamichi CR-7A (head azimuth adjusted for optimal playback; no Dolby on playback, high bias) > Audiomedia III soundcard > Macintosh G3 > Bias Peak 2.62 > firewire hard drive > Macintosh Powerbook G4/1000 > Bias Peak 4.12 (normalized, split into individual tracks) > X Audio Compression Toolkit 1.4b20 > flac

Notes: I received my cassette copy of this from the DAT taper in early 1997. I transferred the recording to digital format in early 2005.

The sound is muffled on the cassette for the first five seconds.

Track 8 has a fade in and out about 4 minutes into the song, due to a tape flip. The fades are present on the cassette.

No noise reduction or EQ was attempted.
