Part two was stolen by furryanimal. Marbal's tape sounds fuller and less tinny than the commonly circulating 1st gen to DAT.

This is a mono recording. On side A the right channel is stronger at first but then they even up. Side B is fairly well balanced. I tried iZotope but didn't feel it helped so have left this transfer raw.


Marbal's tape has an extra copy of Astronomy Domine at the end of side B (track 6). It features the missing introduction from Roger and sounds better, so I have included it as an additional track at the end.

It's worth listening out for the interesting opening to AHM.
