1990 World Violation Tour Backing Tapes

Backing tapes from the 1990 World Violation tour... what else is there to say? There hasn't been a properly transferred, lossless version of this circulating yet as far as I can tell.

My cassette copy is from an unknown generation and it clearly showed from the hiss which I was able to reduce by a fair amount (if the hiss were not so loud I would have left it be). This tape also played slow, which I was able to correct. It is a little muffled in general, lacking somewhat in high end frequencies, and it was very bass heavy which I reduced with some light equalization. Overall, it sounds quite a bit better than the crappy MP3 versions floating around. It's by no means the best possible version available, but it's something, finally!

"Shake The Disease" is missing the first few seconds, and there are a couple small cuts later in the track.
"Waiting For The Night" seems to be missing the first couple seconds too.
For some reason, "Behind The Wheel" and "Route 66" had significantly more background noise than the rest of the tracks. Despite noise reduction, they are still more noisy than the rest of the tracks.
