Help with reducing (either it's echo, or reverb from audio)

[Infomaniac95]

Hello everyone, this might be a bit of an odd question, but me and my friend have gotten the rare and obscure Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen! soundtrack LP, when we got it, for archival sake's, decided to scan it in as flac format, and we thought we could upload it as a part of our restoration project for the film, but we noticed something a bit off, the was an apparent amount of echo or reverb (unsure which) and we were wondering if there was a way to reduce it. Here is a link to the recording's: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxlR3BWdsF85OEhGQUdLVWpfaW8 We know it is not a defect of the record, because we know some friend's who have said record, and they say that's it's there on their's too, maybe meaning VAP, the company who made the record made it like that, but there is something that make's even more confusing, there is a version online without it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBD7184ED36FC1BD2 So we are wondering what's going on. Another thing that confues us, if that the Doki Doki Do It! single released with the film doesn't have this present: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxlR3BWdsF85d2VNRzFCWk10SlU If anyone can help us with this odd problem, that would be really nice, thanks for reading! ~Dell

P.S. Sorry for long post, and also being my first post

Your Google links don't work for me. Asks for a password.

Long posts are easier to read when broken into a few paragraphs.

Generally for audio editing, I suggest trying the freeware audio editor Audacity.
It's easy to use and has quite a few filter options. Other members may have some better ideas.

And welcome to our forums.

I'm afraid that for reverb remove you need something more than plain Audacity but anyway try it.
