SPECTRES COMMENTS:
A very nice release by FRP, but rather fast and in need of some tweaking.
As the original notes claim, this is from a "millionth generation" cassette,
so the quality is a bit lacking. Most of the songs sounded muddy, very hissy,
the high end weak, and a few of the songs were overdriven and bassy. I pumped
up the highs on all of the tracks, boosted the levels on some and lowered them
on others, reduced the hiss, speed corrected the tracks, flac'd at level 8
(removing all the sector boundary errors), and genned new fingerprints. The
end result is the best I could do with what I started with. One thing I noticed
is the high end boost brought out some nuances missed in the original tracks.
You can hear Roger and some of the background effects better now. Enjoy.
