iZotope RX2 denoiser to remove hiss

Small gap in Station To Station (1:30-1:34).  Fixed by patch from the Noggin version (Maxell UD90 tape, then lineage as above).  Clean.
Gap at 5:27 in Waiting For The Man - fade-out/in.
Tape flip between Queen Bitch and Life On Mars?  One is the same as the first gap, see below.
Two small jumps at the start of Life On Mars? (at 1.3 and 5.5 seconds, removed with fades).
Join (on source tape) in crowd noise just before start of TVC 15 - different timbre from this point onwards.  Volume reprofiling to these tracks as well.
Rebel Rebel cuts out shortly before the end.
Sector boundary errors tidied with TLH.

Loss of left channel @ 14-15 seconds in Purple Haze - copied right channel to replace.
Volume reprofiling required during Absolute Beginners.
Tape flip between Fashion and Scary Monsters - clean join.
Some music in the background of the audience noise, early on disc 2.  Not sure if legacy recording on the tape, or more simply someone playing a radio in the crowd - but it's across two tape sides, so probably the latter.
Tape join between Beat Of Your Drum and The Jean Genie - minor fade in.
Sector Boundary Errors fixed with TLH.

Notes

iZotope RX2 denoiser - big clump of mess to removed.

First seven songs seem to have been recorded from outside of the venue, with a fair bit of noise from motor vehicles.
Noise removed between songs:
1. The Motel @ 1:45
2. The Man Who Sold The World @ 3:33 and 3:44
3. Boys Keep Swinging @ 3:21, 4:44 and 4:55
4. My Death - from 4:58-5:23 the noise of reversing motor vehicles gets louder and louder, then the remaining minute of the song is completely lost to engine noise.  Faded @ 5:20 and racket removed.
Further motor noise removed @ 5:57.  In between, a number of pops from kit being touched are reduced.
5. Not a lot I could do about motor noise over the last minute or so of Moonage Daydream.

Gap between Moonage Daydream and Look Back In Anger - removed with fades - significant change to sound quality after the join.
Car door slamming removed immediately before the start of Look Back In Anger.

Tape flip between Look Back In Anger and The Hearth's Filthy Lesson - seamless.
Edit between The Man Who Sold The World and A Small Plot Of Land is on the source tape.
Gap between Strangers When We Meet and I'm Deranged used for disc split.

Start of disc two seems to be outside again.
Substantial chat with passer-by removed from I'm Deranged @ 4:43.
Tape flip between Breaking Glass and We Prick You - seamless.
Conversation with passer-by that completely obliterates the music (38 seconds) at 45 seconds.  Simply removed.
5½ seconds of silence between We Prick You and Nite Flights removed.
8½ seconds of silence between Nite Flights and My Death removed.

Motor vehicle noise removed from after My Death @ 6:21.
7½ seconds of silence between Hallo Spaceboy and Moonage Daydream removed.

Sector Boundary Errors fixed with TLH.
