A fine performance and excellent stereo audience recording by the N brothers. It is known that the brothers used a Uher Report reel-to-reel at high speed and two Sennheiser microphones to record Hamburg 1971-02-25 and they probably used the same equipment on this occasion.
Preclicktrack received his first pressing of the album - multicoloured sleeve, white text on blue background, excellent print quality, etc. - as a birthday present from a couple of classmates in 1976 or 1977. He kindly sent me his high res transfer to work on.
I cleaned the recording up a little, ensuring that I took a light touch:
1. Reaper - trimmed dead air at the start and end of each side, export to WAV
2. ClickRepair - automated, declick 20, decrackle 20, x3 method; a non-destructive approach to removing some of the clicks and crackles
3. iZotope RX3 - high quality digital clipping declip at the beginning of CWTAE
4. Reaper - divide tracks, moved The Embryo to the end and exported to FLAC.
