Brewer And Shipley - Cowtown Ballroom, Kansas City, MO 1972-02-13 Pre-FM feed from rescued reel-to-reel - great performance! (mo3 sample included)

Wow, for you to be able to hear this at all is somewhat of a miracle. This tape had a water-damaged cardboard box in tatters. The reel shed strips of oxide as it was played. I got one good pass on my reel deck and found this show on it. What you are getting is a mono pre-FM of Brewer And Shipley on their Shake Off The Demon tour, with the original band backing.

The story behind this reel is somewhat murky. The guy who had discarded the reel had been a roadie and had worked at the Cowtown. The tape had been unprotected for years. A buddy of mine found the reel and sent it in to me. I had to do some research in order to uncover the date, using the Cowtown Ballroom site as reference. The date for this show listed on the box in faded pencil was wrong.

Very little was done for restoration. Hum was removed, bass was slightly reduced and highs were slightly brought up in order to counter some of the deterioration. I think you'll like the results. Thanks Jerry!
