First off, I usually hate remasters, some people over do it, and ruin the recording. I didn't do overkill on this, all I did was reduce the crackle, which was the result of being a FM broadcast. It was the only flaw, but a big flaw. The crackle was present during nearly all of the recording, and really took away alot of enjoyment. I didn't mess with the EQ, or anything else. It basically sounds like a Pre-FM, I kid you not. Samples, before and after are provided at the bottom. Listen to them fully. Let your ears decide. Constructive critism is welcome. Please leave a comment if you download.

Quality Before Remaster: A-
Quality After Remaster: A+

The crackles are still present, but barely, I couldn't fully remove them without damaging the recording, but they are 10 times less apparant, and you will quickly forget about them. The difference is like night and day.
