notes:

finally an unprocessed and complete versions from master DAT clone, this sounds better than my other incomplete master DAT transfer (from different DAT source) and has no sorta remastering applied; it's also slightly longer than other CDRs around
This comes from the same taper as the 75-6-18 Boston recording (recorder 2)

notes for the 48K version:

this sounds exactly like the version I had before from DAT, actually it seems to come exactly from the same source, just a different DAT generation.

notes as they came with the files:

This fresh DAT transfer of the Hopkins recording should be the first one torrented with a clean spectral and at 48kHz as well. All previous torrented versions of the Hopkins recordings have suspicious variable clearings in the upper end around ~15k to ~19k. This includes the supposed M-DAT > CDR common version. Apparently all previously torrented versions either have a mini-disc somewhere in their lineage with the usual ATRAC compression or are perhaps lossy. I've included a folder of spectral views for this new DAT transfer as well as a few examples of previous versions with compromised spectrals. Hopefully, some day someone will share a transfer of the Hopkins recording at 24-96 and with a good deck and proper A->D conversion.
