SOURCE / LINEAGE

Stereo AUD trade tape

Trade tape > Computer WAV > Cool Edit 2000 > TLH v2.4.1 > FLAC 8 > DIME > you
Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader (jbk) who hooked me up with a copy.
I originally mastered this 2010-07-11.
The beginning of the show is whole, the last half has cuts between most of the songs.
Those cuts had mini gaps w/ the little pops you hear for stop/starts; I removed the pops where possible, along with some silence around them.
Beyond that, the only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes from WAVs from this dub, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH; no CD-Rs or EACs.

NOTES

The date for this tape is uncertain - 10th / 11th / 12th of March?

For its age, this is a very listenable tape.
It's a bit hard at times to make out what Capt's saying when he talks, but the music comes thru quite clear.

This one has a really enthusiastic audience.

The band intros are missing in what's captured here.

My fave here is Spitball.

I dunno about you, but when I hear stuff this old, I am REALLY grateful that people went and recorded things like this.
And I'm glad traders kept them going around long enough so I could get a copy many years later.

Filenames have numbers on the end that are the TIMES (ex. - "...-359" is 3min59sec long).

I mark the start of tracks when the music or count-in begins, not the talking about it before it starts.
