NOTES:
Not as fancy as Stark's excellent remasters, but I feel I've at least made this listenable. Originally made for my own use, I figured since no one else has ever tried to reduce the damage that Tarantura was probably told to do, I figured I'd offer it up. I used clip restoration to reduce the peaks of the wavelength by -10 decibels, and reduced the loudness of the time between songs by another two decibels. Then I EQ'd it to bring up the bottom end and mid range more because it was a little too top heavy. This equalization brought it back up to a more reasonable volume. I also balanced the channels and cut out the disc overlap to make it run seamlessly. I hope you enjoy it and if you find any ways to improve upon what I've done let me know cuz I'm always interested in an upgrade.

Thank you for the effort, although I won't touch these Japan '79 shows :P

sure Freddie's in bad shape through the second half of this show, but the rest of the band are playing their guts out!

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Thank you Sue Dounim.

Excellent job, Sue !

There really isn't much to work with since it was brickwalled, but you did as much as you could with what you had. Good stuff.

Thanks for the kind words. If this is good to most people I might try to do something similar with the other Peach tapes that have no Stark remasters.

2-13-81 is unsalvageable since it actually distorts, but the others would certainly be welcomed !
