Tee, I did search for the original source file to work with, as the YouTube version isn't great. (Lo res mp3). 

Also, it has been severely re-edited, so needed re-timing to compensate for the speed variables. The other problem, which I'm sure would also be on the source file, is that Fripp's guitar harmonics are all over the vocal on the bridge section, and there's brass on the outro, (which I was cunningly able to blend with my new take). There were also some nasty compression artifacts which are still there if you listen carefully. I did what I could to filter them out.

Boyhood fantasy drove me on to complete it with the limited technology at my disposal. It took an age! I was determined not to use any form of vari-speed or auto tune. Thankfully the original reverb had been preserved, so at least I didn't have to address that. In fact, I added a bit more on the choruses.

Cheers.
