This reissue licensed from Kevin O'Neill.
Original cassette transfer supplied by Jack McCafferty.
Attempted clean-up, repair and remaster by Alan Freeman at Tachyon Studio.
Please note: Unfortunately the original master no longer exists, and only old slightly faded/aged cassettes were available. This is from the best of 3 sources located, all of which were low and with drop-out, and whilst I did my best to repair it
not all the hiss could be killed on this without ruining the overall sound!
