Notes


This track has been +pitched to a speed it can be listened to,
at least in a way far more than it can be originally heared on the last track in the recording recently shared here...

The track was at such a slow speed, it's impossible to tell what it is...

Track 1 is at the highest pitch level I could manage in the program I used (MAGIX)
And although at this speed you can hear what Pete was doing, it sounded like it wanted more speed.
So I placed that version into MAGIX again and increased the speed a further 5 halftones.
To me, it sounds like Pete had the vocals and guitar recorded at 2 different speeds,
so a definitive precise version can't be achieved (unless you had the original tape and an 8 track machine)
But I think the versions I present to you here make a nice addition to the recording found above.
