Re: Help Please
 

The 1998 XFM session (available on the tracker) would not mind some cleaning too. The Cups early version from negativeOne's "underworld odds and ends mix" (also on the RTSR, taken from the same source) sounds definitely better.

If there is a cassette tape with the recording on it then, theoretically, the low bitrate issue should not be present on that version as Tape recording does not work in that way.

So I would guess that the degredation has come from the process of digitising the tape recording. I would suggest getting a physical copy of the tape and digitising that again at better quality.

Thanks for the share, this is a fantastic little nugget :)

The thing that would help this the most is a high end tape deck and some fiddling with the azimuth control to match the device it was recorded on.
