I'm not particulary a fan of Scar/Fire but this one is something special.  In fact the 80's aren't really my thing at all but I'm loving this show.

Charlie I think I'm starting to get it ;-)

Notes:

- DC offset removed.
- Pitch adjusted.
- Tape flips patched with shnid 106174 - Thank you Dave Cohen

Thanks to Stephen Porter for making his masters available of this great recording.

Lineage:

The Master Cassettes were played back with Azimuth adjustment and Dolby B decoding on a Nakamichi CD1 into a Korg MR1000 at DSF 1 bit 5.6MHz. Subsequent conversion to 24/96 AIFF done via Korg Audiogate software.
