LPs cleaned with the HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl Record Cleaning system prior to a flat transfer of the vinyl to CD-r. A Zerostat Positive Ion gun was used prior to LP playback on said system. This and a couple other records, all boots, were found in the basement of my house when I moved in. They were covered in mildew or mold, which was cleaned by the sonic cleaner. There will still be some snaps but the vinyl is now playable and an enjoyable listen.

It sounds as if side one was tracked by a tape with the player's azimuth out of adjustment. You hear backwards music during the whole side. I was able to remove a lot of it but not all. The tape for side two starts out muffled but clears up halfway through "Duece". The quality of the tape used for the album mars the listening pleasure a little. It's a guilty pleasure. Not sure what the line-up for the Ace Frehley demos. The track "Rock Or Be Rocked" has elements of both "We Got Your Rock" and "Rock Soldiors" from the Frehley's Comet debut. Also not sure which demo sessions for KIϟϟ were used.
