Doberman release : "For Those Who Were There That Night"
They're Doberman originals...so EAC does not extract the data.
I was lucky to get them copied...
I made a DAT tape using a digital lead from the CD recorder to the Tascam.
I then added the index marks and copied the tape back onto CD-RW discs.
It's the last European River Tour show recording, which I can't find on the tracker...
not the best recording from the tour...a couple of glitches, but it's listenable...
Samples will be coming in the comments
I haven't seen this up here, but if it has been please don't moan about it before you
do a search "+bruce +springsteen +birmingham" as I did...
I've scanned the covers and the CD labels which I made myself...
