Editing notes:

* 23-second station id at the end of Track 4 was removed and crossfaded into the beginning of Track 5.
* 0.3-second broadcast dropout at 1:30 into Track 5 was repaired with a 1.6-second splice from a similar passage;
* A 13-second station ID at 6:14 into Track 7 was removed and the sections were cross-faded (beginning of Track 8);
* At 3:43 into Track 9 there were 87 seconds of station IDs and announcements. This was removed and the sections were crossfaded.
* A 1.4-second broadcast dropout occurred at 1:53 into Track 13. It was repaired with a 2-second splice from a similar passage, but the edit is imperfect (and the 'words' in French may now be nonsensical!) Oh well;
* A -45db notch filter was used to remove the 19kHz FM pilot tone; and
* The entire recording was normalized by 1.68 db then the left channel was boosted another 0.13 db, leaving about 0.10 db head room.
