This is a raw transfer from DAT of a nice, known lineage copy of the better sounding recorder from this date. I transferred it some time ago as a single file and recently divided it up into individual songs using Reaper.

Recorder 2 seems to have been in a better position than recorder 1.

Copies of the two recordings tended to come as a pair when people used to trade tapes and few had known lineages. I also have some old 5th gen cassettes for both recorders but they are not as good as what is now available.
