Here’s today’s On This Date in History. I can’t remember who I got this from, but he claimed that he taped it off the board. The guitar was buried in the mix so I popped it in Izotope and it did a pretty nice job with it. You never know how Izotope will behave with imperfect board tapes, especially ones on cassette but an impressive job this time. Between the lack of hiss, Izotope’s ability to repair, plus a few minutes of intro music (trimmed out), I guess it really is a 1st gen board. Cool. In fact, it might be the best unreleased Ruby Sea-era recording I have heard.
