SBD (RobSam-doctorzap-flambay-mudsharknyc) 

PREAMBLE: This incredible tape was kindly provided by RobSam and transferred via NAK DR-1 by doctorzap and serves as a significant upgrade to all known previous versions of this excellent and somewhat mysterious show. If you have heard this show from any other known source, then be prepared to be astonished by the clarity and amazingly detailed stereo separation contained herein. 

SOURCE NOTATIONS: This tape needed speed correction including two rather challenging variable speed/pitch correction segments as noted in the FIXES section of the text below. The variable speed/pitch problems have been found on all circulating versions known to date as well as some SQ issues that occur during the last minute or so of Dupree’s Paradise, around the location of tape flip 2, also noted below.

THE FIXES HEREIN: Speed correction of -40 cents performed from the very beginning of the Tune Up Introduction Preamble through 00:06:28.10 of Dupree’s Paradise. Speed correction of -30 cents performed from 00:06:28.10 of Dupree’s Paradise through the remainder of the show. Variable speed correction was applied in 2 segments of Dupree’s Paradise @ 00:06:28.10 – 00:06:48.50 and @ 00:09:03.50 – 00:09:22.50. The editing together of the two tape sides of Dupree’s Paradise took place @ 00:06:28.10. 

TAPE FLIP NOTATIONS: These were kept unchanged as provided from the RobSam-doctorzap shoebox seed, hence no silence removed or fade-outs/fade-ins performed. So both tape flips are heard as is on this FZ Shows entry matching those found in the shoebox seed. 

DUPREE’s SQ ISSUES SEGMENT: has also been left as is and are located around tape flip 2 @ 00:18:49.00 and present from 00:18:35.30 through 00:19:26.40. No biggie.
