Notes

Goldwave Parametric Equalizer tool to remove rattle - 7900Hz ± 100 Hz -75 dB and 6100Hz ± 100Hz - 40 dB
iZotope RX2 denoiser tool to remove hiss.

Volume reshaping on Space Oddity and on all songs from Sound + Vision onwards, too quiet.

Tape flip between Let's Dance and Stay - seamless.
Tape problems @ 4:45 in Stay.  Gap, followed by 45 seconds volume fluctuations.  Gap removed, with relatively clean join, volume adjusted as best as I can, but still a little scruffy in places.
Bit of volume reprofiling needed in Ziggy Stardust between 1:30 and 2:30.
Tape flip between Fame '90 and Heroes - crowd noise only, reasonably clean.
Apparent edit in crowd noise after Heroes is on the source tape.
Volume reprofiling on left channel for final three songs.
