Kurt Drabek - Cuba Baion (Remastered From LP Source)

You would expect this would be the best quality source for it, but unfortunately, the LP they used was "Duophonic" - this was a process done in the 1960s where mono recordings were converted to "stereo" by splitting it to two channels, desynchronizing them slightly, and putting one channel through a high pass filter and the other through a low pass filter to make them sound different. This process is also known as fake stereo, and it infamously sounds like muffled shit.

Here I've taken the audio from that video, isolated just the right channel, and done my best to EQ it back to sounding normal again (and also cleaned up a few clicks and pops and reduced background noise). As of the time I'm uploading this, I think this is the best quality copy of the song on the internet, though keep in mind it is still based off Opus audio from a YouTube video and not a genuine lossless rip. Discogs says that the compilation was also released as a standard mono LP, so if someone wanted to get that and rip it to FLAC it would probably be the best option possible, but right now there's only one copy for sale and with shipping it'd be over $50 to order it to the US, which is a lot to pay for one song.

I didn't adjust the speed at all, because even if it sounds different than we're all used to, I'm willing to bet that unless Minheum Cho's vinyl setup is severely fucked up, the LP speed is probably more accurate to the original recording than a Tefifon cartridge would be.

This is the actually speed version of the music. As per the new video on Tefifon by techmoan the plastic got shrunk with the passage of time hence the speed up version on that particular cartridge. But never the less that version became popular on YouTube. A fan and an admirer from Pakistan.
