Love Song

Total running time 1 min 30 secs

One for collectors of curiosities, this has a slightly longer Bob Harris outro than the usual long version of this track that does the rounds. It doesn't sound as good as the best copy of the song which, judging by the voiceover at the beginning, could be from a different broadcast. An example of the best sounding copy is my May 2014 release which I issued with assistance from MOB.

The channels were misaligned on kbrubaker's tape, so I adjusted the azimuth in iZotope using adaptive azimuth adjustment and adaptive matching. I then added some gain in Reaper before exporting.
