Continuing the theme, I've transferred the cassettes that contained the Philly January 1970 shows. They were on mis-dated cassettes and the tracks were all mixed up with the May 1970 ones. I'll put a link below - these tracks always sounded a bit slow to me, even on the mp3 masters which were circulated by the current owner of the master reels. Interested to hear your thoughts......

Philadelphia January 1970 - Bill's copy
Re: Philadelphia January 1970 - Bill's copy
I think the vinyl boot that came out a few years ago is also too slow, especially noticable/annoying on Foggy Notion
Re: Philadelphia January 1970 - Bill's copy
the present owner of the master reels from Jan 2 1970 transferred and shared them as mp3 files a while back: they also sounded "slow". If someone could tell me how slow they are I could speed/pitch correct them to see what they sound like.
