Repairs---------

There were technical problems up to 22:22 of (track 03) Dark Star
Then the recording became stereo and the problems went away

A very strong 60 Hz hum with many dropouts and electrical clicks prior to that point
Additionally the entire recording had a thick layer of tape hiss

To eliminate the loud hum a 60 Hz tone and its harmonics were removed
Dropouts and electrical noises repaired by various methods
Lowered the wall of hiss by reducing the "noisy" content and leaving the "tonal" content alone

Plenty of tape hiss remains although not quite as much
The hum is completely gone

All modifications/repairs performed manually with iZotope RX4 advanced
Many of the repairs were very small and sometimes took multiple repairs per noise or dropout
Certainly missed some things but it is much cleaner now.

Changed the filenames to be a Jerry Garcia project
Hope you don't mind me messing with your stuff Charlie...
