My notes:

There is a sub-second dropout of some kind at about 4:48 into Playin'.  Perhaps
it was a short loss of FM signal.  It doesn't sound digital.

The slowdown you hear at 9:18 into Wharf Rat is due to the splice in from the
alternate source that Charlie mentions below.  The reel flips in Wharf Rat
and Help on the Way were spliced from an alternate FM source.

Charlie tells me this was the best sounding out of four copies he listened to.


These are verbatim notes to me from Charlie:

"Notes:

Recorded by j_ashley@deadacated.com on 12-31-76,
Converted to CD by charliemiller87@earthlink.
No Noise Reduction of any kind was used on this
recording, analog or digital.
Cool Edit Pro was used to normalize and to remove some
pops, but there are still quite a few static pops.
Sound troubles at the source caused the Level to begin
low and slowly increase on Mama Tried. There are two
reel flips, one at Wharf Rat (9:14) and one at Help On
the Way (3:51).  

We took his master reel and played it on the tandberg
deck it was recorded on. We plugged that directly into
my sbm1, which then went into the tascam cdrw700 (This
was done almost 2 years ago, which is before I had my
soundcard). I thrn took the CDs (today) and normalized
them, then retracked them. I wouldn't have done
anything, but the tracking was done "on the fly" and
was very poor.
