Notes

Soundforge Enhance tool, +3

Join on source between Fashion and Scary Monsters (assume tape flip).  While Scary Monsters was faded in, Fashion ended abruptly.  Fade added to Fashion to match.
Clearly an issue on the source, with the volume level being whacked to maximum early in Heroes.  Sound on Heroes reduced, but distortion still affects the song.  The next five songs are all missing, apparently while the problem is being fixed.
4:57 after the end of Fame, taper blows into mic - removed.
In the encore break between Fame and Time, there's a 2½ minute discussion between the taper and his mate(s) about who was responsible for batteries.  For the sake of sanity, all removed with fades!

Tape flip between The Jean Genie and Diamond Dogs - reasonably clean removal, unsure if anything is lost on the original.
Small gap in Diamond Dogs at 4:59 - Let's Dance repair from previous skat.
Gap in crowd noise between It's Gonna Be Me and Somebody Up There Likes Me - cleaned up, but some of the chat in the intro to Somebody Up The Likes Me is probably missing.

Tape flip between Life On Mars? and Sorrow.  Simple join, end of final sustain of Life On Mars? lost.
Clumsy join on source tape between Space Oddity and band intros. 
Tape flip between band intros and Young Americans - seamless.
