I traded this with the taper back in 1984-85 time, who I believe used a Reel to Reel recorder in the early 1970s, and was a friend of the Fairport mob at the time. I used a little hiss reduction and the result is not bad at all to my ears for such a recording made 37 years ago!

The Albion Country Band played three nights at the Howff, near Regent Street in London, augmented by Shirley Collins and Barry Dransfield.
