Notes:

Digitally Remastered by jashley@deadacated.com.  Completed March 7, 2006.

There are three distinct signatures in the sources used in the original source.  Each can be seen clearly in spectral analysis.  A 16khz spike can be seen in two of them, one having a lower B/W of approximately 10khz, and the other have a B/W of appoximately 16khz. The third has the same 16khz B/W but without the 16khz spike.  The 16khz spike is, likely, due to CRT Horizontal EMI during the recording process.  Each of the three signatures display a different sonic quality, the best being signature #1.

Signature #1(16khz B/W No 16khz Spike): Promised Land through Mexicali Blues & El Paso through You Ain't Woman Enough
Signature #2(10khz B/W With 16khz Spike): Bird Song through Stella Blue
Signature #3(16khz B/W With 16khz Spike): Here Comes Sunshine through Casey Jones

All three singatures were cleaned and processed separately due to the different sonic qualities, and the "Bertha Process" was not applied to signature #2 due to a beating noise caused during processing.

All defects from the original remain, including any cuts and drop outs.
Enjoy!
