Total Time ::: 26:36

::: EXC studio trax with some tape wear&tear. Check samples to pass judgement or activate ants in pants.
::: Warts: Levels were a MESS, now mostly fixed. Loads of dropouts & dullspots, mostly fixed but surely missed a few.
::: Clive John Hambley(?), later Clive Stuart John, aka Clint Space (and other pseudonyms!).
::: Founding member of pre-Man band, The Bystanders, which became Man & also in Clive John's Opening Time & The Tremblin' Knees.

Recording Information ::: master studio reel -> 1st generation reel (tired!) -> 2nd generation Maxell XLII 90 cassette, Dolby B on.

Playback 2015-04-14 ::: 2nd generation Maxell XLII 90 cassette on Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth adjusted for individual tape, heads cleaned & demagnetized -> Sony Linear PCM Recorder PCM-M10 (LPCM 44.10kHz/16bit WAV files) -> computer -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, -1.2% averaged pitch (speed) fix with single pass after frequency analysis & with pitchpipe verification, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2015-06-06.

Line-up (unknown) ::: Clive John - guitar, vocals. Educated guesses expected from you MAN freaks. Surely some Man band members & friends.

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

DimeTravel 137 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! This copy came from The Man In The Palace. His palace is now under gentrification siege. May the old hippie win the battle. ::: Corrections welcome ::: Quality varies slightly between tracks. This reminds me a lot of the "Ernie Graham" solo album on Liberty with Help Yourself & Man vibes in lots of places & a little Incredible String Band sound in spots. Really feels like a long lost album. Kinda like a new flavour of marmalade that Phil McMullen mighta spread on his toast during his Terrascope days. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees

Do whatever you want with it except sell it, 'cause that ain't cool!
