This DAT gave me a lot of trouble to get a clean transfer. It took 6 tries, and even then, there was a lot of cleanup to do. I removed static or digi-snits at 7:51.500, 11:56.750, 17:56.500 40:13.100, 48:31.500, 49:00.250, 58:43.170, 1.09:01.500, 1:18.12.050, 1:31.50.300, 1:44.19.500, 1:58.56.000, 1.59.58.700, 2:00.25.200, 2:17.35.200. A few anomolies remain, including:

1:08.12 -- small discontinuity
1:10.43 -- rough spot
2:06.45 suspicious but unaltered

The sound quality on this is excellent, and the Eleven > Afro Blue is fantastic.

Enjoy!
