Total Time ::: 28:24

::: Quite fine in quieter parts & hurtin' in louder ones but better than previous uploads. Check samples for indigestion or blues ignition factors.
::: Warts: Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. Loud passages suffer from distortion on all copies. Excised 1&1/2 seconds of extreme hiss from in #2 (a better splice than prev. circulating version).
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is a known 2nd gen, better quality & longer version than the one at www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=368002
::: Old Scooter 123 version is AUD (NOT SBD or FM as stated), unknown gen, lesser quality, 4 trax, 21:48. This better quality UPGRADE is known 2nd gen, 5 trax, 28:24.
::: Track #5 included here was missing on previously DIMED versions of this recording.
::: DATE: I'm stickin' with August 1967 tho' it's been debated previously. More info below.
::: Sincere thanks to DIMER zubbid for his speedy response with a song title & instrumentation correction.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 270 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Way cool even with the distortion. Preceeds the first Retaliation album & even the first Retaliation single which didn't make it out until December 1967. Deep white boy electric blues with an incredible line-up. A great band! Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees

DATE DEBATE: According to http://www.themarqueeclub.net, the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation only played the Marquee Club in 1967 on 1967-11-20 with Chicken Shack & 1967-12-15 with Shakey Vic�s Big City Blues Band. However this was traded to me many years ago with the August date as supplied to my source by the taper, so I assume the Retaliation substituted for another opening band on some night that month.
