Notes:
The largest part of Montana {0:00-4:12} sounds very weak originally, especially in the right channel.
I had to increase its volume there by 25% and additionally mix 20% of the left channel to the right, to make this part sound a bit fuller,
still perceivably muffled and hissy, compared to the rest.
An untouched version of Montana is available in separate subfolder, see below.

The overlap portion around the FOB drum solo tape change point (at 16:50), cut out in main section, is also available in that separate subfolder.

Also included, for single source purists and editors,
a bonus subfolder (63,4 MB) with these untouched tracks or portions:

01 Band Introductions (unpatched portion from beginning) [0:34]
11 Montana (untouched) [6:03]
14 Farther O'Blivion drum solo, overlap portion around tape change [2:37]

Total time (SBD source only) 118.43 min
