TRANSFER NOTES
-----------------
- The vinyl was cleaned with Triton X100 vinyl cleaning solution.
- The stylus was cleaned with am Stylus cleaner.
- Normalized to 98 %.
- Used spectral view to manually edit out clicks, pops and tiny hiss.
- The tracks are speedcorrected with a precision of 0.001 % to match with the CD version.
- No remastering was done whatsoever.

SIDE NOTES
-----------------
- Brazilian promotional vinyl supposedly limited to only 200 copies.
- I used a new and better pre-amplifier on this one (Technics SU-V500) with a better SNR and a much higher frequency response.
- Also the bass is not that hard / overdriven anymore making the tracks sound smoother.
- This time I also edited out non-audiable inconsistencies in the spectral view.
- Don't skip this one, it's my most pristine transfer upto now, took me over 40 hours of work !

PLEASE DO NOT ENCODE TO MP3 OR SELL!
