This is one of the more muffled and hissy master cassette SBDs from the '69 
era.  It sounds like there could be several analog generations in the 
lineage, though the lack of crisp sound quality might mostly be attributed to 
the master, which is reportedly degraded.   Many analog related crackles and 
blemishes were embedded in the recording.   Sound Forge was used to smooth or 
reduce most of the glitches, though many minor blemishes remain.   Sound 
Forge was also used to normalize and correct the pitch. 

Notes:
--Dire Wolf cuts out shortly after one minute
--splice in Schoolgirl @ 7:29
--tape damage in China Cat @ 0:44
--other blemishes are frequent, though not offensive
