Original song - recorded off a Youtube video of the MST3K episode with
GOLDWAVE out of my computer's speakers (after I found out that to record
audio the way I used to required changing the on-board REALTEK chip settings
to "Use External Software Codecs").

Has the record needle hiss. I was requested by a YOUTUBE member to help
them get the song, but since it had no real legal means of downloading I
figured this route would be best. Well, while I had the file open I figured
I'd tweak it a bit to remove the record needle hiss.

=======

This was the result.

This has the hiss removed and would probably be pretty close to a "clean
master" version of the audio.
It lacks some of the "haunting factor" that the hissy version had.

=======

So a few more tweaks. Changed the "room dynamics" to a bigger room,
added in a few subtle echoes, added in a slight reverb.
Gives it a bit more of the "haunting" aspect, am seriously tempted to
tweak that saxophone at 2:12 to 2:16, it kind of just blurts in there rudely
and should be a more gradual 1/2 volume increase lead in.

Figured it unkind to be stingy.
I also make no claim to copyright. Diane Mahree should've been a well
known singer / actress than what history gave her so far.
