No lineage information, dime-seed (radio, sounds like several generations of tape/K7)


:: ubu edits (2014-03-30) ::

 Lineage: FM > ? > FLAC (dime) > TLH > WAV > Cool Edit Pro > TLH > FLAC (8,asb)

 Edits in Cool Edit Pro:
- left channel +3dB
- all track marks adjusted (most were too late)
- fade-in at beginning of #3 (there's a rough cut at end of #2)
- fade-in at beginning of disc 2
- deleted silence at beginning and end of discs
:: ubu notes ::

 Most tunes morph into the next one, setting track markers isn't that simple, but in almost all cases, the existing marks were clearly too late, into the first bar(s) of the following title.

 There's a short radio voice-over around 3:40 into #7 that suggests this originates from a live broadcast - but all other radio announcements/intros/outros were deleted.

 Track 4 is incomplete, slowly fades out.

    Some smokin' hot music here ...

    Thanks to Chuck Nessa (who set this up and made me aware of it - this post is dedicated to you!) and to the kind person who put it up over on dime after I asked around for it!
