Notes

Way too fast.  Speed adjustment @ 94%.

Hiss removal has been done using iZotope RX2 denoiser.  Still some sound on first few tracks, but believe these are arena ambient noise, not tape hiss.

Some volume rebalancing in places, as volume was rather variable.

Apparent join between Life On Mars? and Sorrow - on source tape, left alone.
Strange gap between Scary Monsters and Rebel Rebel removed - no impact.
Gap @ 1:37 in Rebel Rebel: some music lost
Tape flip between Rebel Rebel and White Light White Heat - seamless

Gap in crowd noise @ 16 seconds into Station to Station removed.
Tape flip between Young Americans and Fame - seamless

Gap (encore break) between TVC 15 and Stay removed.  Audience noise only.

Hiccup in crowd noise between The Jean Genie and I Can't Explain (6:23) removed.
Sector boundary errors resolved using TLH.
