Source: cassette from the collection of Richard Handal, tape courtesy of Danica K

Transfer: JVC KD-W5 > Realistic 31-2020 10-band stereo equalizer (tape hiss lowered by lowering 8KHz) > Marantz Stereo Receiver SR940 > Line Out/In > CoolEdit Pro (append tracks)

Editing by MysteryGirl:
*izotope rx5 (removed some, where possible, & reduced other offending screams & coughs); removed hum at 59.6 hz
*audacity (reduced screams/applause between songs, reduced some loud claps, cut some gaps, tried to level out some volume fluctuations, amplified each channel)
*cdwav (split tracks) > FLACs

Notes by Mystery Girl: This was challenging. Due to the embedded screams/audience noise, it was difficult to find a good balance between trying to temper the annoying sounds without ruining the music & banter.
Because of the volume fluctuations and other issues, and because at some times the music was louder than the loud screams/audience at other times,
I didn't try to temper the offensive noises with a single application of mild compression. Instead, I tried to reduce the screams/audience between songs by attacking each annoying spot one by one. This isn't perfect but I think an improvement from the original file. There was a lot of mic rustling at times.
