Notes

It seems that the original recorder device had something like auto-gain; but the 2 channels were recorded at a different volume. Therefore the volume on the left channel is compressed and quite constant; while on the right channel the volume is lower and has more dynamic. Hence more gain has been added in the right channel; and the 2 channels have been mixed to have less difference of volume between the 2 channels.
Unfortunately this is a low generation copy and it had notable hiss. Hiss reduction has been done, but the result can't be perfect. A master tape would be welcome for better restoration.
