Taper: Steven Martin

Comments: Simple Twist Of Fate is spliced @ 14:29. There were small dropouts in the right channel during the first track which sound like oxide flaking rather than a transer issue. These blemishes, which were on the order of 12 ms in length, were rendered to unbiased imperceptibility by copying the left channel for these brief millisecond periods using SF6.

The Harder They Come had a few seconds of intermittent dropouts on the left channel near the beginning. These were most likely a stressed mic connection (cable connector). Patched with the right channel.
There is a splice @ approximately 14.29 of Simple Twist of Fate due to a cassette change.
Random dropouts found in 5 tracks due to a bad mic cable-left channel(patched from the

Direct from the master cassettes I was loaned by a friend, this
sounds better than any previous versions I’ve heard. I’d never found a
copy of known gen in all of my trading days. I didn’t download the
version torrented in April of this year, so I don’t know how this
compares to that.
