DVD 2622; lineage: Maloney > KRW_CO > TomP Remaster. AUD > Sony TC-110A with built-in mono microphone > cass[M]. Fresh Maloney master rip posted on Dime in 2007 (by KRW_CO) but deleted.

Changes made (Nero 8)
- Converted to true mono, using better sounding right channel (disk 1) and left channel (disk 2)
- Fixed the tape flip at 10:27 on Track03 seamlessly joined original Track04 (at 10.27 if you're interested)
- Fixed the rough transition between tracks 04 & 05
- Fixed the applause cut between tracks 13 & 14
- Fixed more than 2000 volume fluctuations
- Very slight EQ, +1dB bass & +2dB treble, much less than you can do with amp tone controls
- Added flac tags for digital streamer replay, note altering files in any way will destroy these
- Minor re-tracking

The PRRP from the 2005 rip remaster was recently posted here on Dime and I was surprised it sounded inferior compared to
the raw new 2007 rip (check mp3 samples to compare). PRRP omitted removed the Dime info credit plus crucially the fact that
the recording is mono so the only audio information they were remastering.

A with many old recordings on this tape deck, the left and right channels extracted on a stereo deck sound slightly
different, so I've restored it back to true mono using the better sounding of the channels (right on CD1 and left on CD2)
and then fixed the constantly varying volume level plus a few other fixes.

For me now, this is IMHO the very best quality recording from the 1973 tour, so do check out the samples.
