Very nice piano on Changes...the songs tend to cut in as you may know from the CD version...this is from an off master tape I was sent the files from. This is a processed version - I have widened the sound image. On the one hand this can cloud some of the detail of the sound *but* it does neatly spread the sound across both channels and give it a little more 'body'. In this case it's quite handy as it reduces some of the 'brittleness' / sharpness of the sound of the original files. Have a listen to the 'filled out' start of Candidate (circa 3'30 in the Sweet Thing track), for instance. If this is for you, enjoy. I will be sharing more shows soon.

The process I use in Audacity to widen the sound, usually consists of the following - -9db decrease (as the mixing and combining needs space) double up the tracks, add .01 sec delay to one of the channels, split channels and mix either side (balance achieved through trial and error) Combine above doubled up track with untouched track with the latter at a higher level. The above mixing while giving a nice widening effect I am more than aware can sometimes sound artificial to some, and I have found combining it with the untouched file means a balance is achieved between the raw sound of the original and the mixed version. 
Studios used to - and I'm sure still do - resort to all sorts of double tracking and compression effects and the bottom line is this method I found by trial and error sounds good to me and others. Those who do not approve or find it does not sound good to them - no-one is forcing you to download this. Voila...I listen to live recordings in headphones for the most part, and many people listen in headphones / earphones these days. This may sound better to many like that, and I am aware that through conventional speakers this sort of mix / re-work may or may not sound as good as an untouched version. It's very subjective, and very much down to individual preference. Where I don't provide samples the downloader who is unsure about this can simply pick one or two tracks to ascertain how good this is, just as I do.
