LIBERATED BOOT - REMASTERED ---------- ---------- ------- Henry Cow ---------- Kingston Polythechnic 21 January 1976 [not 26th] ---------- -------- Source: Printed CD, not CD-R Fixed glitches at 0.22 track01 Fixed stereo balance, reduced right channel by 5% Fixed varying balance within tracks Fixed varying volume levels within tracks Noise print NR, worked really well Removed tuning > false starts (2.32min) between tracks 08 & 09 Applied slight treble EQ Cross-mixed tracks (80:20), more stable stereo image, instruments / voice clearer Cross-faded tracks for smooth transitions and eliminate silences Increased track levels by 3dB First 10 sec of Track01 are still rough, but much improved Quality: Worth an A++ now ---------- ---------- ----- As I had run out of great Dime Henry Cow stuff to remaster, I decided to turn my hand to one my boots and it has turned out to be one of my best! It was a labour of love, as yoou can see from the amount of editing, but listening to the difference between this and the original is amazing, as is the peformance itself. The resident Dime experts say this has been posted here before, so if you already have it, then this is still a great upgrade, so for you and listeners new... ...I hope you enjoy this as much as I now do.
