A raw transfer of my 3rd gen cassettes that I received in 2000. My tapes show some signs of generation loss and are a bit rough in places but this version benefits from a better transfer than the 1st gen that does the rounds. It is also a fresh source for those who are interested in having all the different versions.

For three of the sides the right hand channel was stronger than the left and in the case of side C the reverse was so. The songs are spread across the tapes as follows:

Side A - 01, 02, 03
Side B - 04, 05, 06, 07
Side C - 08
Side D - 09

I kept the gain the same for sides A and B, then made individual adjustments for the two remaining sides. I then dropped each of the weaker channels to create a mono recording.
