Fix notes:

Lightweight hiss removal using iZotope RX2 denoiser.

Speed adjustment needed, running too fast.  Sides 1 & 3 adjusted with factor of 97.5%, but side 2 of tape running amazingly fast: factor of 90%.  After adjustments, still some indications that speed may be a little slippy.
At 4:04 in Baby Can Dance there's a sudden deceleration (and more so four seconds later).  Speed corrected whole section with factor of 106%, but could only do at single setting, as no accelerate/decelerate tool available.

Tape flip between Go Now and Betty Wrong - seamless.
Tape flip between Baby Can Dance and You Belong In Rock And Roll - seamless.
Tape flip between Baby Universal and Heaven's In Here - seamless.

Small gaps removed in encore breaks at ends of Heaven's In Here and You Can't Talk - crowd noise only.
