lineage: "Listen Harder" silver CD bootleg
Remixed & remastered by Mr. Sifter, December 2023 using htdemucs v4, Logic Pro, and Izotope Ozone.
The original bootleg had guitars/bass and drums/vocals awkwardly hard panned left and right, respectively. Rebalanced the stereo image to address this, and tried to bring out the vocals a bit more. Given the amount of tape noise, the source tape was at least a generation or two removed from the master, so toned that down a bit as well, affecting the tonality of the music as little as possible. As always, the sound caters to my own personal preferences, but I hope some REM fans will enjoy this revamped, excellent early show, about seven weeks before they'd begin recording "Murmur."
(The original silver disc bootleg included bonus tracks from Toronto 1983, as that show circulates in its complete form, those are not included here)
