Lineage:
MATRIX(PA-SBD (delayed, at about ratio 0.2) & Beyer Dynamics mounted on mike stand on mixing desk stand) >MCA(Sony TC D5 M, TDK D no dolby) >CAS >Marc 2(24/64) >HD >WAVELAB Remaster >16-bit/44.1 khz conversation >normalisation up to 0.01 db >CD Wave (tracking) >flac frontend (level 8)

The recording sounds almost like a SBD, but Ron Lorman, the engineer used Beyer Dynamics on stand, for time corrected matrix with mics at low level about 10-20%, like he also set reverb processors in the mix at low rates.

Transfered, mastered and seeded by Valleybird.

--------------
add. edits (plaz):
- gain normalized part 1 (tracks 1-6) so the levels are the same as part 2 (tracks 7-12)
- balanced channels: Lch+0.28 dB
- repaired clicks, pops and drops out
- slight EQ for brilliance
- retracked
