Notes:

-Same source as UDG/CDR

-Harwilmer version superior to cdr as it lacks digital artifacts present on cdr.  Same cut between Sitting Still/Gardening At Night

-still a bit distant but probably as good as we'll get from this date.

Grade: B

 

UDG/CDR:
-there is a cut between Sitting Still and Gardening At Night, but only the first few notes of Gardening At Night are missed.

Grade: D
Static/distortion throughout
