Recording Information ::: $30.00 Lafayette cassette recorder adjustable recording levels, unknown mono Sony microphone bought in 1967 -> master TDK SD-90 mono audience cassettes (tracks 1-10a), Dolby off -> tracks 10b-23 transfer circa 1990 onto 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on.
Playback (tracks 01-10a) 2012-07-xx Master TDK SD-90 mono audience cassette (azymuth adjusted heads on unknown deck, Dolby off) -> CD-R -> computer -> wavs (that's all I know).
Playback (tracks 10b-23) 2012-07-01 ::: 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & pitch adjusted, heads cleaned & demagnatized -> Sony Linear PCM Recorder PCM-M10 (LPCM 44.10kHz/16bit WAV files) -> computer -> Audacity (normalisation to remove DC offset, fades &/or glitches, dropouts, volume adjustments, no EQ) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader's Little Helper -> yer ears. First uploaded week of 2012-07-28. 1st gen part (almost entire Leon set) actually sounds better than the master - probably the copy survived better. Taper originally traded this to me without part 1. After working on the recording I had (tracks 10b-end) for about 10 hours I contacted him, only to find out he did have more, which he supplied. But since I had done so much work already & my copy actually sounded a bit better, I combined them as you see here.
