Last year traink gave me a box full of DAT tapes. He promised there's be more. This is the 2nd box of DAT tapes.
At the time he transferred a few tapes to cassette for personal use.
It's possible copies of those cassettes circulate in a small circle, but this is the first time the DAT tapes have been extracted to wave.
Reelclasio did a 16/48 transfer. I did some minor editing, tracked the files, flacced them etc. and finally share them in 16/44.1
Source: audience master, Sony ECM959 (90 degrees)-> Sony DAT D6 , recorded by traink
Lineage: DAT master Cassette > Pioneer D-05 > Hucht > Tascam SS-R1 Compact Flash Card

Fredtaper did the final editing.

* Appearantly the DAT tape was not wound up properly. As a result it broke when playing back. Reelclasio opened the cassette, put the 2 parts together
with adhesive tape.However where the tape broke it had frayed edges, a number of drop-outs and some music missing.
I sent the files to Fredtaper who did a wonderful job with the damaged part. This is what he did:
Most of the gaps were able to be removed and the two parts seemed to fit together well enough that you can�t hear a problem.
It was like the DAT was sticking and starting, so the information was all there except it had gaps in between.
There were still a few places where just deleting the gap didn�t work, because there was missing music, so I left the gaps,
but set the amplitude to zero to eliminate the pops. Also, there was one of these missing parts at about the 18-second mark of the track
which happened to be the chorus that was repeated later in the song. So I did a small patch from that later chorus, to eliminate that gap.
That patch doesn�t sound perfect, but it�s better than a gap. I think Track 07 came out pretty well considering how bad it started.
