Yup. And that's after lots of tinkering in Pro Tools and Sound Forge. Nth generation VHS, what can I say... Would love to find a better source someday.
That bootleg is missing material, sometimes a lot, at every reel change, too. So we filled the gaps with the stereo mix dumped to mono. We made no attempt to otherwise "dumb down" the patches, though, for we wanted anyone who cared to be able to tell what was true to the original mono mix and what was a replacement. Kinda like how art restorers use paints that can be easily removed should a future restorer need to redo the job.
