"LastExit_19891012_Leverkusen - Peaceful Afternoon_fm.flac" (51.47 MB)
Checked with TLH > "Last Exit - 06 - Leverkusen.wav: track looks like CDDA with probability 100%"

Lineage of both = FM > ? > flac

Changes made: flac > Nero 8 > TLH (flac 6 and SBE fix / check)

Corrected usual FM -0.05msec phase shift and lots of further fine phase tuning within tracks
Cross mixed stereo channels (98:2 ratio)
Increased volume of both sources (4-8dB)
Fixed glitches / false start of track04 after abrupt applause cut in track03
Improved fluttery / glitchy first few seconds of tracks 01 & 06, although still not perfect.
Corrected small volume and balance variations
Corrected lots of micro-dropouts
Low setting Noise Print NR on Leverkusen track, music quality is actually slightly improved
Fixed a few (vinyl?) glitches on Leverkusen track, but could not fix quite a few.
Tracked the Tampere source from single track into its component tracks, split by applause.

Quality: A++ now for the Tampere tracks, A+ for Leverkusen

Wow !! What a recording, the music bursts out of the speakers (listen to the samples) and hits you like
a tidal wave before disappearing into a black hole !!

OK...there may be a just touch of hyperbole here, but now with the remastering, it sounds totally
wonderful, especially as you now also have an additional bounus track courtesy of chazuke (this is all
there is of this set), so treasure this great music and...

...Enjoy !!

Lassi007 original notes >>>

This was very important concert for me because in this concert I began understand value of electric jazz.
After this day I collected every RS JAckson, Ulmer, electric Miles and of course Last Exit records. And
many others. To this date I had been very conservative and to me real jazz was only music where there was
acoustic bass and so on. How man can be stupid when he is young?
