Comment "The 2013 Guerssen LP reissue was mastered from an original 1971 vinyl pressing at RPM Studios in Orlando, Florida. It sounds like in their restoration chain was an adaptive declicker, which indeed probably removed most of the crackle but also the 'snap' of the percussion along with it. The result is that its mastering sounds muffled, even compared to the remarkably sh*tty Gear Fab CD, which sounds like a noise-reduced MP3 with no frequencies above 15kHz. The original pressing sounds far superior." - ThePoodleBites, 2018 ~ Lineage: Original 1971 Private-Press LP (NM-/VG++) > Audio-Technica AT150MLx Dual Moving-Magnet Cartridge > Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB Direct Drive Professional Turntable (internal stock preamp/ADC removed) > TCC TC-754 RIAA Phono Preamp (new regulated power supply, added LM7812 regulator) > Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 MkII (96kHz / 24bit) > Adobe Audition CC 2018 (recording) > iZotope RX 7 Advanced Audio Editor (manual declicking, additional adjustments) > Audacity 2.2.2 (fades between tracks, split tracks)
