Comments:
There are two anomalous frequency peaks throughout both sets and on previous
sources. The first is centered between 7 and 8K with a second between 15.5 and
16.3K. The exact frequencies varied between each song during the first set
while there were only differences between reel flips in the second set. This
required mastering each section with a separate Waves Q10 paragraphic eq
setting with supernotch set for the involved frequencies. Also there is some
degradation in tape quality around the margins of the tape flip during Wharf Rat.
The flip in Wharf Rat was crossfaded. All editing and mastering was done on
24/96 file sets prior to cd-audio rendering with MBIT+.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of 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 ffp to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
