Test pressings are on the horizon for the upcoming CD/LP release of the complete Evil Acidhead recordings tentatively titled, "In The Name Of All That Is Unholy". I went back to the original cassette masters and transferred them at 24/96. And the masters were in pretty good shape. You gotta love cassettes.
No brickwall limiting, eq or noise reduction was used on these tapes. Its a warts and all affair. Drop out, tape folds and hiss were left as is. Remember that we're talking about 4 track cassette technology, noisy Casio SK-1 samples, and deliberate walls of noise and static, so trying to make a "modern" remaster would have been pointless. It is what it is. Just like the original low bias tape. Only louder.
More news to follow.
