============
Source of this recording
I got this recording in 1985 from a friend who was in contact with the taper. He provided me with a copy. I am pretty sure this is a second generation copy, from the original master tapes.
The tapes included artwork (photos and a copy of the ticket). Tapes were distributed by Reflector Music Service.
=============
Audio preparation
The original tapes were in good shape. I only played them a couple of times. I transferred them to harddisk using Soundforge 4.5. The next step was to make two complete CD segments out of the 4 cassette sides. I used
Cool Edit Pro to flawlessly combine the segments. The only audible flaw is after It Don't Matter To Me. I think the taper switched tapes. So the applause comes in with a slight burst. Also the first few notes of Sussudio seem to be missing (it's a kind of fade in). Otherwise the concert is complete.
The original tape says it was recorded using Dolby B. I didn't switch that on during playback, because it cut too much of the high notes in the music. There is some tape hiss on this recording. I chose not to dehiss a lot. Only in the very quiet parts I dehissed a little (> 14kHz -6dB). I also increased the volume in some places (+2 or +3 dB), because songs like If Leaving Me is Easy and One More Night were very quiet.
As I found the tapes running a bit too fast I slowed them down just a little bit. All sound restoration was done using Soundforge.
Finally I spliced the recording into segments using CD Wave. The SHN files were created using MKW. I added seeking tables for playback purposes (ex. Winamp) on computers.

Comments
This is a complete concert by Phil and his Hot Tub Club. I rate this as a B+ although some might think it to be A-. The sound is generally clear, with a good definition of the guitar and the keyboards. The bass and drums are sometimes a bit muddy as a result of the hall reverb. The taper was standing not too close to the PA. Sometimes you hear people talking, but never really loud. There is very little noise during the quiet songs and only minor singing along during the hits.
