(Trippy-Kraut Root Reggae) [24/96] [LP] Dadawah – Peace & Love (Wadadasow) (1975) UK Original press - 1975, FLAC (tracks)

Tech log:
Equipment: VPI HW-17F Vacuum Record Cleaner, Heybrook TT2 T/T, Rega RB 300 Tonearm, Lyra Helikon M/C Cartridge, Denon PMA 850 M/C Stage, ESI Systems Juli@ A/D, Adobe audition 3.0

Method:
Clean records on Vpi, rip (PCM@96/32), remove inaudible subsonic (0Hz to 17Hz ~ 0db, with sloped filter from 17Hz to 20Hz)
Manual and carefully targeted automatic de-clicking in Adobe Audition using custom scripts and presets. I make sure this doesn’t damage natural clicks.
Occasional use of noise masking techniques such as ‘footprint’ sampling the groove noise and fading to mono during track changes, etc.
Normalize whole sides to 100% (After deciding if the sides are cut the same), Split tracks, FLAC, MD5, M3U, Discogs Tagging (where available), DR, RAR, +Redbook (16-bit dithered in Audition), FTP

Audio philosophy: Stay out of the way of the music.
