*Regarding the very slow speed of the source, I found the pitch to be approximately 1.75 semitones flat at its worst from the start, and then as the speed increased, the pitch during Stu's piano solo was the closest to being at the correct speed and it was still well over a semitone flat at approximately -1.18 semitones.
Aligning the channels helped the audio greatly, and then I was able to apply a wow and flutter fix that made this extremely flawed source come back to life.
The audio is a little on the harsh side at times, but it's become a very enjoyable listen now.
Many thanks to jswetch for passing along the source from, I believe, the 'waterwheel' archives, also deserving of much thanks!
