Led Zeppelin: 1975-02-06 Montreal, Quebec, Canada (FLAC_AUD_Cobra_3 CD)

Here is a requested show from Led Zeppelin's February 6th, 1975 show in Montreal.

This Cobra label release is a real good sounding in some parts and not as good in other parts recording.  It appears editing was done to give the show a "fake stereo" sound and that may be the cause of some issues.

Cobra's CD 2 seems to be more "muted" or using some sort of noise reduction method on "No Quarter".  While the recording is still good sounding, the rich, full sound is diminished somewhat.  The sound changes back to what it has been (better) as soon as "Trampled Underfoot" starts.  But as the third and last song on CD 2 starts, "Moby Dick", it again switches back to the "muted/NR used" sound.  I guess it's possible these tracks with different sound are from another source or they did not have the effects added to them that the rest of the show (for the most part) does?

The Cobra label show is not bad at all and can be enjoyed completely, however; I'm looking for the EVSD version to see which is better.  The EVSD version has no "fake stereo" attempts or edits in audio from what I've read.  This Cobra version has a full, rich sound overall.  But there are quality changes as I already mentioned and occasional distortion (not too bad or too often) too.

I do have one more version, an LP (album) rip from the Kornyphone label, of this same 1975-02-06 Montreal show.  But it is incomplete and has the record pops throughout the whole show.  So the best version I have is what I'm uploading here.
