Surprisingly good quality recording for it's time of a notable song (heck, I knew what this was digging through archive.org's old music and I'm hardly a music buff). Restored version of this file, removing some static and cutting dead time at the end.

- Oppose Too much dehiss causes the recording to sound like its being played underwater. ThemFromSpace 10:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- Uh, that's how the original sounds. Staxringold talkcontribs 12:22, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- No, this is not how the original recording sounds. The high pitched "sparkly" sounds in the background never appeared in the original recording. This was part of added background noise (probably due to a dirty disc). During the disc restoration process someone used dehiss to remove this noise, but it either wasn't applied correctly or it was applied too much. As a result, some of the background noise was removed partially but not entirely, giving rise to the metallic-sounding pings in the background. I would recommend the original file over the cleaned up one. Looking at the original file with Adobe Audition, I see that it definitely was intended to be a finished product rather than an empty slate. ThemFromSpace 03:50, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
