Comments: Previously uncirculated SBD with minimal hiss (despite the lineage) and pauses between most tracks occasionally clipping the beginning of the track.

Excellent horny performance of TWLWMYD and some extended blazing soloing during I’ll Take A Melody.

The total recording was about 85 minutes. If you want you can fit the first 8 tracks on a single 80 minute disc and then just burn a single track disc 2 with filler.

This was done using a different transfer chain. This method was per the advise of Dan Healy I received from him a while back in trying to attain a perfectly clean signal going to digital. I had one of my reel machines modded for a direct tape head output going into a custom Bottlehead tape tube pre specifically built for reel transfers (w 2. diff. EQ setting for tape speed) so basically you have a perfectly clean tape signal going into the tube pre going into 24/96 digital.
