Notes:
This recording was transferred and shared by doctorzap in 2010, but I don't have
that version to compare. Steve did tell me that the levels of doctorzap's transfer
were too hot, and this transfer does not have that problem.

-original audio was phase inverted (might have been recorded that way), so I
fixed that
-automatically phase corrected the channel alignment
-speed corrected because:
-Track 1 started 2.1% slow, then near the end of track 2 it transitioned to 1.95%
slow. Then about 6 mins into track 3 it transitioned to 1.3% slow, and 11 mins
in it transitioned to 1.55% slow and stayed there until the end of track 3.
-Track 4 was 1.7% slow. Near the start of track 5 it started getting faster and
track 7 ended 1.45% slow.
*The audio was only resampled once to simultaneously speed-correct and bring it
to 44.1 kHz

-There is some noticeable frequency wobble, particularly during track 3. In case
anybody ever feels like trying to correct that, I am also releasing the non-speed
corrected 24/96 transfer.
