This is a wonderful piece of Dead rehearsal tape that I have not seen circulating in the digital realm.

The cassette was played back on Nak CR7E with azimuth adjustment.
Sound Forge was used for noise reduction.

Flac - st5 generated and matched to Shn st5

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the headerof each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected.
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
