Editing Notes:
-files received as 2 wav files, I think corresponding to the sides of the cassette tape.
-first wav had up to the first few sec of Mondo, overlapping with 2nd wav.
-level, phase and speed adjustments using MATLAB. wav's joined and monoized a 8 sec section using Audacity.

-speed/pitch generally ran a little slow/flat except at the start, with some variability
-speed adjustments are not aligned with how the tracks are now cut, but approximately the adjustments are:
-Track 1 (Magic): -0.6%
-Track 2 (The Big Ones): starts -0.6%, and gradually over ~60 sec becomes +0.4%
-remains +0.4% until halfway through Track 5 (Shadows), when over ~30 sec it becomes +1.5%
-remains at +1.5% until end of first wav
-seamless edit to join wav's at 40:32.210 (4.5 sec into Mondo) using Audacity
-Track 6 (Mondo) starts +1.6% for first 5 mins, then over 20 sec becomes +1.8%
-remains at +1.8% for the rest of the recording
-I believe there are some sections where the speed drifts slightly (+-0.5%) that I didn't address, but I
wanted to minimize the variable speed adjustments

-essentially a mono recording, but the channels are not identical
-balanced channel levels
-monoized by copying the left channel to the right from ~44:21.7 - 44:29.6 using Audacity
-phase corrected. First wav: 2-3 samples, Second wav: 0-2 samples

known faults: some tape whirling noise during the second half of Bahama Mama (near the end of the first wav)
