Notes by the uploader/trader:
The description of the source of this recording says it was taken from a stereo mixdown tape off the radio station master reel. If this is so, the tape used for the mixdown must have been either low quality/taped over multiple times, or the mixdown was badly eq'd, and/or the tape was badly stored before the transfer to digital took place. It is a PREFM source and it does retains the qualities of a nicely spaced stereo mix. but the overall sound is quitestill b boomy and muddy sounding. Thankfully, I was able to get rid of some of this muddiness while maintaining the qualitiy of the original recording. The quality of the original mix is a little hidden in the source recording. Even after attenuating the frequencies causing trouble, the recording is still bass heavy. Apart from readjusting the frequency spectrum of every track, quite a bit of level adjustment was made to bring up the level of a very quiet recording. The level from track to track on the source recording seems to fluctuate from time to time so I tried to match track levels as much as possible. Finally, some slight compression was used to bring out some of the drowned out elements in the mix and maintain a more balanced overall sound. Conclusively, the recording is now clear, crisper, louder and more balanced. There are some clips and pops throughout the recording that I didnt really pay much attention to. They don't hinder listening enjoyment significantly in my opinion. Here is my gift to the legions of the Kink Kingdom.
many thanks to all involved in sharing this, much appreciated.
