This was provided to me by Gordon L. and is MUCH appreciated! The sound is MUCH better than "Sweet Lou," but is not as good as "Claim 2 Fame." A VERY long intro jam (9.5 minutes) for all you free-jazz nuts. The pitch was in dire need of correction (way too slow), so I took care of that w/ Peak4. By "raw track edits" I mean cutting out "noiseless" segments where the cassette was being recorded but there was no sound. Gordon noted the following about the sound quality:

"Wild Side" is cut at the end of the 1st tape and then continues on the 2nd tape. The 1st tape starts off in lovely stereo and then collapses to glorious mono in the middle of "Kicks" - sounds as if the original taper was having FM reception problems. It reverts to stereo later on in the tape. But quality is at least as good if not better than the LP/CD versions, imho."
