    I grew up with this LP & used to play it incessantly...unfortunately due to lack of space (& my ignorance to the beauty of LPs!) I had to give this up, it’s so nice to reacquaint myself with it! Thank you!

      Essentially this was a Request from someone - who then failed to leave a comment!
      I'll check which file is on the server - if it ends '12' then that's the additionally Izotope declicked (very minimally)- otherwise just the basic hand-edited. I was a bit critical about this performance -the slow-motion final bars - but agree it's one that is compelling and sort of 'right'..
