I equalized, balanced, and optimized the volume of the recording.  I removed the blank spaces and fixed the tape flips.  I removed a repeated segment, checked and corrected the speed.  Then I split the recording into song tracks.   I did the editing, mastering (tweaking), analog to digital transfer of this release.  Screen caps of Audacity before (raw) and after (final) are included.  Don't add to, change or remove any of these files.  Keep the text and md5 files unaltered, together with the FLAC's

Don't rename directories or file names if you share this.  My concern is that when people rename them they drop information like date, venue, location, T number.  This information is useful to others when searching for or deciding which version of a show they want or already have.

Don't alter the sound of this recording.  The T releases are not to be used as a source for anyones so called remastering projects.  I'm also making available the raw source recording I worked from for this release. It's has (T source raw) in the folder name.  Anyone that wants to work on the raw source recording is free to do that as long as you mention the source tape you used.  Don't use T-551 version as a source because that one shows what I can do.  Use the (T source raw) recording for your source, it's the one I worked from.  Show us how much better you can do than I did.
