To create the new mix, Linett did something unprecedented. He went back to the original session tapes—the multi-track masters, instrumental tracks, and vocal overdubs—and painstakingly "assembled" a new master. As described by The Absolute Sound , "Mark Linett produced this stereo mix with an assembled digital multi-track master that synched the original four-track instrumental master with the four- and eight-track vocal overdub master. It was then mixed to 15ips 1/4-inch analog tape with SR noise reduction". This process allowed him to balance each musical element with a precision that was impossible in 1966. Because the source material was analog tape, Linett performed an analog transfer of the stereo master at 192kHz/24-bit to create the final digital file.
