Daniel Wescott - Old Testament - Auvidis "vs" Musical Touch Sound

[Greta]

Today I'm looking for the community's collaboration.

I remember I promised Fuzi to share some Master Plus few days ago, but I have only this one other than the ones already shared.
So, I was trying to edit these two Hrvatski's transcriptions,

[Auvidis] - AV 4106 - Daniel Wescott - Old Testament
[Musical Touch Sound] - MTS 1010 - David Wescott - A Musical Evocation Of The Old Testament

which are the same album on two different labels (also Master Plus released this album),
but I'm facing problems which it seems I can't overcome.

Apart from the fact that the Auvidis release seems to have the tracks in the wrong order (for sure tracks A3 and A4 are switched compared to the MTS version), there is also a long skip on the first side of MTS version.

Now, would anyone with decent skills and a good dose of willing to help, fix and split these two releases?
I would only ask not to apply any filter such as click removal, noise reduction or else.

Here I'm gonna share 24-48 flac, encoded from the original 24-96 aiff Hrvatski's transcriptions.

Thanks for reading, and much thanks to anyone who wants to land a hand.

Hey Greta, I can help with this and will give it a try at the end of the week. Thank you

Only just seen Fuzi's reply. I'd already edited both album tracks and uploaded them here ==> h***s://mega.nz/file/NkY0nZiD#RHKRRpVT14iwp4BZgE-BguXe1r1sKwWXyWSJQ-E8An4

Is this what you were after Greta? Just spotted I misspelt Wescott's surname in the files.

Thanks nido for your help.

Just a thing, if I may:
the main reason why I asked for a help was to try fixing the big skip on the first side of the MTS version. I'm gonna explain better why.
The big skip starts at the very end of track A3, the one called "Sodom & Gomorrah". Nevermind if the track should be divided in A3 a,b,c. It's at the very end, but the point is that finishing the skip I think there still are a couple of seconds of fading out, and I was asking if somebody is able to cut the skip out and merge the two parts. Instead, I think you just split and finished the track at the beginning of the skip, without adding the remaining two seconds.

As a side note, I'd say you didn't split track A1 from track A2 on both releases.
Track A1 ("Creation Blow") is only 30 seconds long but it should be split, isn't it? In fact, side A should be divided in four main tracks, not three. Not a big deal by the way, I can do that.

I would keep waiting for the "cut&merge" of track "Sodom & Gomorrah" on the MTS version.

Thanks for your work nido. This is a big step towards the final result.

Thanks for the further guidance, Greta. I think I better understand the issue. Also being unfamiliar with the album I was relying on the waveform to indicate where the track breaks were. I've re-edited the A side of both versions to give four tracks and have removed the skip on the MTS copy while maintaining the fade out to the fourth track.

Thanks a lot nido!

For those interested here are the two albums, with tracks names and the best covers I could find around (not that good actually).
