Agreed that the result is underwhelming, however, I am amazed that, of all things, a Christian Rock band chose to undertake such a task, even if it was outsourced. I wonder what their motive was? I mean, it’s certainly a bunch of work for a very small result.
There’s no way to direct input the vinyl into a C64, so therefore it would be necessary to record it onto tape, such as the case presented here, which would have been fairly expensive at the time, and then, yes, use a tape loader accessory for a C64 at the time...the budget, it seems, for the average listener to have the gear to decode this, much less know to do it, seems to indicate an astronomically improbable level of discoverability.
