Comments from the original torrent (March 2007):
Had some fun with this one, a good raw source that I felt needed some touch-ups. I'd certainly recommend it for all, but it might be best for diehard 13 fans only, as the changes are subtle, more what a general mastering job should be.
As I said, raw, and I've been meaning to play around with one like this, adding a bit of spatial-simulator reverb to try to recreate some ambience of the venue. Not far off from blending with an AUD, just not as obvious. Mostly it gives the rawness a smoother edge and helps to warm up some of the brittle crunch (and eliminate the need for de-noising). Then the spectrum was tightened up as the highs were too bright, the lows were undefined and the mid's (especially Page) needed a slight boost.
I like it, I like it a lot.
Artwork, EAC log, MD5 Checksums and Fingerprints included.

Comments (added July 2008):
This was originally posted by Hottiemagnet in March 2007 (I think it was to DIME, though I can't find it in the archives at the moment); I personally found this to be a more enjoyable listen than the original "Snow Jobs" boot. Changes as outlined above give a warmer feel to the recording, similar to the post-production of a commercial release. Since even the original boot does not appear to be on the tracker right now, I thought this would be worth a spin (perhaps for the first time on DIME).
Many thanks to thir13en and Hottiemagnet for bringing this to the masses the first time around.

That remaster don't sounds better than original Candadian Crunge IMO ^^ Someone just cut highs, and bass sounds flat. Now that's sound little muddy.

I always thought the EVSD Snow Jobs was perfect as is. I have not heard Beelzebub's Canadian Crunge, but there's a positive review on UU. Some collectors have a low opinion of Beelzebub (and EVSD) and do not appreciate remastering of any sort. The thir13en remaster of the Stones Brussels '73 is AMAZING imo. Hope I can hear the same 'thir13en' magic touch on this one.
thanks Dave!
and it's only..... 13 files! :D

I Found LZ Vienna, Austria March 9, 1970 at another site, but the files were damaged. I don't think you have that one here. Maybe you could find a better version?
Thanks for all.

Great remaster by thirt13n - the Snow Jobs was very good, but this is even better. Thanks!
