View NotesSet I transferred at 16/44.1; Set 2 transferred at 16/48.

Set I speed was off; used a curvilinear change to get it to match the average of three other sources.
In addition to the speed change, set 1 was modified by paragraphic and spectral filter equalization to 
increase presence. Tracking and very light editing (fade-ins and fade-outs as necessary).

Set II had no speed issues and was not changed except for tracking and very slight editing 
(fade-ins and fade-outs) as necessary, and conversion to 44.1kHz to maintain consistency between the two sets.

Patches:
Last few minutes of Althea and first few minutes of Hell in a Bucket had irreparable static and 
echo/feedback noise.  These and the crowd between them patched with SHNID  91464.
Approximately 2 minutes of space was also patched with SHNID 91464.


Thanks to Doug Oade & Jim Wise for making this beautiful recording available.
