The Pop Group’s seminal 1979 album Y has been given a new dub mix by British reggae legend Dennis “Blackbeard” Bovell, who has produced for a wide variety of artists including Fela Kuti, Bananarama and Linton Kwesi Johnson. This new version of the album features reimagined arrangements of the original album’s tracks with mind-bending space echoes and a plethora of other studio effects. Y is ranked by The Wire as one of the 100 Most Important Records Ever Made and by Pitchfork as one of the Best Albums of the ‘70s.

This is what I do in general. Not every step is done for all my rips ñ sometimes an anomaly is undetectable, or all my attempts fail … then it is not processed - otherwise as mentioned below:
o Clickrepair
ï Light de-Clicking, significant clicks/anomalies manually removing
ï De-Noising: no
ï @ Level: 30 (YES!) I decide if it will be repaired or not! 100% handmade! Nothing is processed automatically;
ï heavy clicks / anomalies, mark the region, copy in a new (iZotope RX Advanced) temp-file.
Open in Clickrepair (every option off) and let it run until the click/part and repair/removing manually
(Clickrepair is able to calculate the possible groove running, try out how it most fits Ö)
