Notes

Version 1:
Side 4 (band intros onwards) louder than other sides.  Sides 1-3 volume boosted by 23% to match.
Gap of at least five seconds in the intro to Heroes.  Removed (but leaves a jump)
During intro to Fashion, 20 second stretch (8-28') where right channel is muffled and left suppressed.
Volume on left channel boosted, then copied to right channel to replace muffled sound.
Tape flip at end of Breaking Glass - seamless.
Strange (very long) gap removed from the end of Cat People - crowd noise only.
Tape flip between Rebel Rebel and White Light White Heat - seamless.
Tape flip between Space Oddity and the band intros.  Crowd noise only lost.
Two gaps in crowd noise after TVC15 (encore break) removed.
Modern Love is missing

Version 2:
No hiss removal required.
Running a smidge fast - speed correction with a factor of 97%.
Tape flip between Breaking Glass and Life On Mars? - seamless.
Gap (presumably legacy tape flip) between Cat People and China Girl - joined with fades, but first note or two of China Girl isn't present on source.
Apparent legacy tape flip between Space Oddity and Young Americans, which eliminated the band intros.
Some panning required during Young Americans and Fame, as too much balanced to right channel.
Tape flip between Fame and TVC15 - seamless.
Encore break gap in crowd noise between TVC 15 and Stay - clean.
Gap (presume legacy tape flip) between Stay and The Jean Genie - removed with faces, but first couple of notes of The Jean Genie aren't present on source.
Another encore break gap betweeen The Jean Genie and Modern Love removed - clean.
