Made into one track.
Izotope RX > attenuated buzz at around 16k – not too audible but clears the top end a little (from 3min 50 to end of source)
Very light noise reduction – mostly to remove the vinyl rumble and low hum occurring.
Inverted phase of right channel to make the whole thing mono.
Normalised.
Exported, into audacity where I redid track markers, and exported as flac8 – including the announcment track initially removed.
