Careful53 got his tape from Steve B.

Back in August 2013 I released a raw, single channel transfer of Beechwoods' cassette copy of this recording. Careful53's tape is much better and I have retained both channels. I used iZotope to match the channels and align the azimuth and to finish I added 0.4dB in Reaper before exporting.

It's always nice to hear John Peel introducing the Floyd and I think you'll agree that this sounds good for an off-air home recording from close to 50 years ago.
