LINDA SPEED-CORRECTION NOTES:

Many thanks to Blackchevy for his tape transfer and to Luciferburns for sharing it on Dime! Please note that 2 AUD sources exist from this show, and Blackchevy has provided 2nd gen tape transfers of BOTH sources. Be careful not to confuse them. The more well-known bootlegs of this show originate from the better-sounding source: in addition to Blackchevy's 88.45 min 2nd gen tape transfer of that source, there is the 'Devil & Daughter' Langley silver bootleg (which is the best-sounding version IMHO) as well as 'Tales from Sheffield' (lossy-sourced) and 'When Death Calls to Sheffield' (equally lossy-sourced).

People who just want to have the best-sounding version of this show will be completely happy with the 'Devil & Daughter' silver bootleg; what I have done here is only interesting for the specific kind of collectors who want to have the best-sounding copies of ALL available sources of a show. The version I am dealing with here is from a completely different (worse-, but still nice-sounding) source than the bootlegs mentioned above. The raw original (which runs 87:44 min) sounded quite fast. In order to determine the correct speed, I compared the pitch to other live recordings of the same period (including alternative versions of this same show) as well as to the original studio recordings of some of the songs included (namely 'Neon Knights', 'Children of the Sea', 'The Shining', 'Devil and Daughter' and 'Headless Cross'). Though I am far from being a pro in speed-correction issues, I am quite sure the result is an improvement. See below for details of the procedure. Sector Boundary Errors were fixed (log file is included in this upload), comments and criticisms are of course welcome.

Details of speed-correction and SBE-fixing procedures:
FLAC > Foobar: merge to one single big WAV file > WAV > Cool Edit Pro 2.1: Speed and pitch lowered (Time/Pitch - Stretch - Resample - Constant Stretch - Length: 5403.000 sec) > Foobar: encoded to FLAC8 + split into tracks > FLAC8 > MP3tag 2.61a: tracks renamed > Trader's Little Helper: Sector Boundary Errors fixed (padded last file with 780 zero-bytes) > FLAC8

Original running time:
87:44 min

Running time after speed-correction:
90:03 min
