The Lamb Lies Down on Philadelphia - Fixed** Edition

Open Air Microphone recording

Source: The Lamb Lies Down on Philadelphia, https://www.genesis-movement.org/php/showdetails.php?uid=4527

CONTRAST CLAUSE: https://torrent.genesis-movement.org/torrents-details.php?id=2460 has a multitude of digital noise issues occurring primarily from d1t10 to d1t18. There are also other digital noise issues present elsewhere. The source for this fixed version was kindly sent to me by *wbeens and may be the one speedy referred to as "the version where the digital noise (issues) are much much more slight".

Comments about this source recording:
Not the best sounding Lamb OAM recording.
Amplification is generally pretty low. Both 'discs' have an imbalance in the channels with the right channel being lower and with more hiss present throughout.
Digital noise issues are present. Details are below.
A 17-second 'Prelude to The Lamia' is all that is present on the source. It is an unlistenable garbled mess with a scream from an audience member.
The Lamia and Silent Sorrow suffer from dropouts. These tracks have inferior sound quality compared to the other tracks.
Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist is missing from the source and consequently from this version.

What was done (**fixes):
Removed multiple digital noise issues in Riding the Scree (all within a 12 second interval); also removed other digital noise issues in 1. Fly on a Windshield (loud), 2. In the Cage, 3. Carpet Crawlers (a handful), 4. Anyway, and 5. The Musical Box. Each instance of digital noise which was deleted was done so manually using Audacity.

Removed gap between Silent Sorrow and Arrival (Slippermen); smoothed transition between the tracks. (Audacity)

Deleted the 17-second portion of 'Prelude to The Lamia' and applied a quick fade-in to the crowd noise just prior crowd to the start of The Lamia. (Audacity)

Deleted the silence following the cut at the end of Anyway and applied a 1-second fade-out. (Audacity).

Deleted the silence following the cut at the end of the applause following The Musical Box; faded out applause. (Audacity)

Fixed Sector Boundary Errors. (Trader's Little Helper)

Joined all tracks; normalized to -3 db (Audacity). (I did not not normalize channels independently in order to avoid overamplification of right channel hiss)

Split file into separate tracks (CD WAVE Editor).
