The original tape was apparently edited by an unknown gentleman at a later date, who gave a brief introduction to the recording, and introduced song titles throughout. Apparently, he realized and appreciated the historical nature of the tape and did us all a great service by sharing his comments with us. Imported broadcast WAVs into Audition: - Normalized to -0.5 dB - EQ: Low-pass @ 16k to reduce hiss - removed ~2.02 second gaps between each track - cut audio saying "these recordings were recorded in 1957", originally stuck in the middle of track 19, placed it at the beginning of the recording with other introductory material. - removed a number of pops and fixed a number of very short dropouts (which came out as a click). Didn't remove all the pops. - removed some redundant material present elsewhere on the recording - some minor track damage is audible on the last 4 songs or so, this sounds like it was likely introduced at some point after initial digitization.
