I have access to some very good sound men, that's not the problem. The problem is they are so rough that it would take a genius to make them acceptable to me.
For instance, cassette tapes are not very good in the fidelity department, and video cameras are worse. They tend to be muddy. My buddy, Gordon has suggested a guy in Camden, and I'm sure Sandy would be glad to make some suggestions. The problem there is, he is busy makeing a living.

I'm very tempted to just cherry pick a dozen or so of the less awful ones and let the chips fall where they may.

Field recordings are supposed to be crude, right?
