Known flaws:

- Friend of the Devil cuts in at the beginning. This was patched with the Schoeps source from :00 to :13
- Tape flip in Drums. This and a few seconds of slightly degraded tape at the beginning of the second side were patched with the Schoeps source, from 4:52 to 5:10.

All patches made in CE Pro with levels matched and crossfades.

Quality notes: IMHO this sounds better than the Schoeps source on archive.org (which is still excellent, and used to patch a couple of spots in the second set). First, it was taped right in the Phil zone and sounds every inch of it - it sounds like starting with Wang Dang Healy cranked up Phil and just left him there. Second, Jerry and all the other instruments sound clearer, fuller and warmer, with more definition and separation. It sounds a ghost of a hair's ghost away from being a Healy matrix.


Many thanks to Tim Alexander for lending me these phenomenal masters!

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.
