  1. The Complete Hershey Tapes
    (comments by guitarmanMSC who posted this on Dime)

    I decided to convert this tape when i saw the bootleg cd that was made out of this was incomplete and pretty bad sounding. My tape wasn't highly superior, but after pitching up all that, remove all these heavy bass and remove some of the extensive hiss that was present, it sounds quite good. I removed it as much as the high notes played could be still heard. Now I consider the sound very clear and heavy. What's new compared with the bootleg-cd? Many many So Cruel attempts! Some great versions of this "so rare" song. Sound level is maybe a bit low and lack a bit of overall bass.
