Transfer Notes: SIDE A
00:19 - click 00:23 - flutter/speed fluctuation 00:52- slight flutter/distortion 02:30 - plosive 02:57 - slight distortion 04:12 - rumbling as song starts and throughout 04:36- slight flutter 07:55 - proximity effect, rumble reappears 07:57 - slight distortion 08:37-08:40 - slight flutter 10:49 - high end disappears 11:20 - high end struggles to reappear 18:12 - plosive 19:10 - click
Quality Notes:
7 of 10
No audience during Don McLean recordings--perhaps a demo session held at Lenas? Intermittent rumble throughout several songs on Side A, high end is inconsistent. Michael Cooney set distorts often. Side B very clean, though levels are inconsistent from song to song.
