Contrast Clause:
A version of this has been seeded on the tracker here:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=209455

The prior version was shared on the Big-O (MP3) website and the sound on this seed is better we believe.
It is a first generation copy from a 10" 1/2 track pre FM Reel to Reel. It is still a little hissy but much less than the prior seed and doesn't distort when it gets loud.

Recorded from a 1/2 track, 7 ½ ips 10” pre FM reel to reel > Akaii GXC-570 D2 Cassette (w/ Dolby B).
It is extreamly low levels for the majority of the show but gets real loud in places.
From these low recording levels some hiss and rumble crept in.

Transfer of 1st generation cassette:
Nakamichi CR-3A w/ Dolby > Audigy 4 Pro @ 24/44.1 > minor editing with Nero >
converted to 16 bits w/ Audacity > Tracked w/ CD Wav > Flac (Level 8)

No noise reduction (other than Dolby B) or equilization.
The back cover art has the wrong track times for my recording but looked nice so I used it anyhow.
