This seems to be the earliest HH & Headhunters recording around (just days before the Boston FM)
Big Thanks to my partner, AG, for digging ANOTHER Ol' cassette out, digitizing it & sending it out to me.

AND a...

HUGE thanks to prof goody for his work on this. I had hoped for less mud and more Clark & yes, there is a noticible step in that direction. Until a lower gen or PRE-FM comes around, I'm comfortable that this is the cleanest this serving of funk will taste.


enjoy,

Goody's notes:
Pitch of tracks 1 - 3 was approx. 34 cents sharp. Track 4 was approx. 14 cents sharp.
EQ applied to restore muddy midrange.
Restored levels in several spots in the R-Channel where they dropped down suddenly for various lengths of time.
Many clicks and pops repaired.
Retracked. Fades added to smooth transitions.
