a this and that, glasmar77 production.
thanks also to the unknown taper who did a nice job recording this.
fixes:
levels reduced by up to 1 DB on most tracks
pitch adjusted by -40 cents (slower) in soundforge
spliced tape flip and a couple of encore break fadeouts/ins 
and a couple of silent gaps between them seamlessly
there are several good disc break options if burning to CD
although the original one wasn't, and is still not a very good one
since it's during a track transition. 
almost any other one would probably be better. 
this is now pretty close to a seamless recording.
