I recorded my very first play of this unique 7″ using an Ortofon Bronze stylus feeding a Cambridge Solo preamp, captured at 24bit/192kHz by a Tascam DA-3000. I then cleaned up that needledrop by hand in iZotope’s RX, removing each pop and tick individually so as not to just run the de-click plugin across the whole track and destroy the transients. Then the tiniest bit of EQ moves were applied to deal with some turntable rumble.
