This is superb work! Will the entire disk audio be publicly available? If so, where? NEDCC or WNYC?
The sample is highly audible. Who cares about the surface noise from fatty acid crud. Every word was
audible and the music tone was fine. Get at it too hard with DSP and it'll be brittle-sounding and
full of artifacts. I say, keep it as-is and be happy that a broken glass-base disk can be played at
all.
