 Time: 23:57
 Size: 1 CD

 Sound: AUD
 Notes: I originally had this posted as 1988-08-03, but research proved it to be the 1985 show. They were playing with WASP. I got this in trade as a CD-R, so I have no idea on the lineage.
It was extremely loud and quite distorted throughout the spectrum. One look at the wave and it was a big solid block of color.
I turned the volume way down and restored the clipped data, then EQd it and turned it back up with a softer edge.
There's still distortion in the lower end, but I believe that's from the source tape, not the bad mastering.
Now because this is from CD-R I had a hell of a time determining if it was lossy or not, TLH says 4 songs are 100% lossless, but questions a couple others.
A spectral analysis while playing the file showed a fairly smooth threshold, no haircut, so I'm going with it being lossless, even though the high end sounds a bit tinkly like a lossy file.
That may have to do with the clip restoration. I'm about 80% sure its lossless.

Disc 1:
01. Ecstacy Of Gold
02. Fight Fire With Fire
03. Ride The Lightning
04. Phantom Lord
05. Anasthesia
