Well hey, since this linkie has gone extinct-ie, I have put up a track off this rip of A Few Old Tunes to compare it with other versions available in the YouTube ether.

These two examples. A comparison of Skimming Stones:

My upload of this rip:

And my question is..... which do you prefer?

Well the second one is definitely closer to the actual speed of the tape to my ears (I'm comparing it to one I've corrected myself), but the sound quality leaves a bit to be desired. It sounds like it could be from a multi generation tape, or maybe it's had Dolby noise reduction applied to it and whoever ripped it didn't use Dolby.

you can hear another track suddenly cut in during the fadeout of Paul Russell's Piece on this version. pretty neat

has this ever been confirmed/debunked?

has this ever been confirmed/debunked?

looks like a half-decent attempt at a reverse NR of AFOT that was later recorded to a tape or something like that, me and oliveoil kind of figured it's probably that a couple days after this "leak"

BTW has someone succeeded in making a reverse NR of afot?

i've done a reverse nr before, probably better than the crappy NRed version but i didn't really continue with it because the 17 track version + for friends tape versions combined only leave like 3 tracks that need any work done and sound way better anyway

Then why not release the full 17 track + for friends tape + those 3 tracks

Also what's even the "for friends tape", could you provide a download link?

As far as I’ve been able to gather, the “For friends tape” refers to a particular set of incomplete but slightly better quality rips of tracks from both volumes of Old Tunes (better quality as in 192kbps and less noise reduction). It often gets spread around mislabeled but it’s not particularly difficult to find if you know what tracks it contains.

Here’s a link to it on archive.org, mislabeled of course: https://archive.org/details/BoardsOfCanada-AFewOldTunesVol.2/
