truly nice recording, apart being a rarely circulated alt recorder for some time: hiss is not so marked and does not cover the performance at all, instruments are all well defined, just the vocal parts tend to sound not perfect at times.
There are little tics like static almost all along the tape, these are on the tape. I chose not even to try to touch them leaving all raw.
This is one of the few times a tape turns out transferred so nice without trying to understand how to put the stereo equalizer, I just left it in the classic V position and it was perfect.
There are little stops on the recording between some songs but just few seconds are missing, these occurred prolly on the master or in low copies of the master, I made most of the index marks to coincide with these stops. No fade in/out.
I joined side A&B on the beginning of ABITW, the point of junction is pretty evident since the 2 sides sound a bit different one another (it's at minute: 4:07 inside the Don't Leave Me Now track).

The intro is totally missing at the beginning.

A supposedly master clone of this source is lately in circulation with the intro patched from recorder 1.

Waters on RLH:
"Do you like our pig? We don't like him very much. Right, that's enough fun. Home piggy. This next one is for all you disco fans, got a nice bouncy beat, it's called Run Like Hell"
