I did not want to edit this too much because these are rought cuts and the flaws are part of the character. Instead, I tried to note them. Only minor editing was performed as described above. Additionally, I did take out a few of the small segments of silence between tracks. I did not make any adjustments to the levels.
 
Enjoy!!

Discs were kindly provided by Stu Hanson who comments below:

These copies kick the sh*t out of the versions circulating from those Unsurpassed Masters bootleg CDs. These derive from a 3.75ips reel belonging to Sandy Troy with two additional tracks supplied by a 7.5ips reel belonging 
to Alan Bershaw. 

Sandy's reel has all the material that has circulated before and its likely that many of the copies out there trace back to this reel. We *think* this material derives from the original 8 track studio sessions (that were abandoned in favor of using the first 16 track, which had just become available in 1969.) 

The two cuts from Alan's reel, Rosemary & Mountains Of The Moon, sound like the same versions recorded for the album, but they seem to be only Garcia's acoustic guitar and vocal tracks, without all the overdubs. They are definitely not to be confused with the earlier mixes that were originally released on the 1969 version of the album. These two tracks have not circulated widely. They are both excellent quality and very beautiful!

add to lineage: >MKWact>DART Pro98>EAC WAV Processor>MKWact

Most tracks were edited to eliminate between songs chatter and 
tuning using DART Pro98 and then trimmed to correct CD sector 
size with EAC's WAV Processor. The intro on d1t1 was trimmed
and the level raised to match the band's level.

All files were normalized to 98% and corrected for DC offset 
with EAC's WAV Processor and then checked for noise with 
DART Pro 98.
Noise was removed with DART Pro98's retouch tool if possible.

 1. removed a bit of noise from d1t01 (left channel) at 1:50.224
 2. reconstructed audio to fill a gap in d1t01 at 3:46.375 to 3:46.395
 3. removed click from d1t02 at 0:0.014
 4. removed click from d1t06 (left channel) at 0:31.790
 5. removed noise from d2t01 at 3:40.580 to 3:40.605
 6. removed noise from d2t02 at 0:9.295 to 0:9.306
 7. removed click from d2t05 at 1:21.306
 8. reconstructed audio to fill a gap in d2t05 at 4:47.551 to 4:47.725
 9. removed gap (reel flip?) in d2t09 at 11:07.889 to 11:08.961
   (original timing) and blended the transition.
10. removed gap (reel flip?) in d3t08 at 1:01.560 and blended the transition.
