I found this excellent, nearly perfect soundboard recording of an early Kraftwerk show, and decided to work out a few tiny imperfections and reseed. The original quality demanded that no EQ be performed on my part, and the only touch-ups involved removing a very few quite nasty electrical pops or tape noises.

The set was a selection of the "poppier" cuts from their early LPs, in addition to the newly released "Autobahn", including a nice version of the title track. The nearly 100% stereo separation assures us we have a true SB source. This wacky balance makes for either a very interesting or very maddening experience if listening with your cans. Listeners can decide for themselves. There is only a bit of light hiss heard, maybe from copy noise (there is an unknown gap in the original lineage information.) Resulting quality is still a SUP/SUP-, in my opinion. Take in an interesting show and enjoy!
