Cactus - three items - 1971 July 05 and December 1971 (DaD) APE

This is a torrent including APE files (monkeyaudio.com), hopefully this works for you.
*****************************************************************
It's Cactus time!!! These are reseeds from my original offers back on STG (Sharing The Groove) & EZT (Easy Torrent).

Some months ago I mentioned about retorrenting these Cactus recordings, & quite a few people were very interested. But then came the problem of locating the original APE Files, which was fruitless then.

Since then, an upgrade of Aug. 1971 Cactus recording from the Ultrasonic Studios has been upped. I previously uploaded two different (shorter & inferior) versions, & needless to say, I will not be uploading those. That upgraded version can be found at: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=100321

Back on STG I met a trader who I think I may have dealt with years ago in some trading, etc. Well, this person offered to do some tape transfers for me .... & what a job he did!! Many thanks!!!

The great trader who transferred these recordings for me wishes to remain anonymous, so let's respect that. I am basically leaving the text file information the way that I received them.

I have not offered anything in almost a year, but you who know me know that I used to offer plenty. But last year I switched to an Internet Phone Service, which usually shows me as being firewalled. I have tried everything in my power to shut off all firewalls & gone into the settings of both of my modems (Cable & Phone). Sometimes I'm listed as firewalled & sometimes I'm not by the few Torrent sites I visit. Please be patient.

I am also including some artwork that has a setlist from the 5 July 1971 recording & from my previously offered Aug. 1971 Hempstead recording. So these artwork files are for reference only & if anyone would make any new artwork files, it would be greatly appreciated.

I will be making two other Cactus torrents that will offer more (larger torrents, etc.) recordings than what this torrent is offering.
