Total Time ::: 26:58

::: VG stereo AUD. Check samples for "Do ya, Don'tcha, Will ya, Won'tcha!" (Haven't thought of that one in eons).
::: Warts (yes, many!): Repaired some dullspots & dropouts but surely missed others. Seriously loud, rowdy AUD"non-participation". #01 starts late&1st 7secs very muffled. LOTS of AUD talking (sometimes louder than music), clapping, mike bumps. It is what it is.
::: "Dingwalls Dance Hall" at the time was aka "Dingwalls Dancehall" but usually just called "Dingwalls".
::: Joe&Barry also played Dingwalls 1975-01-22, anyone have that, or a longer copy of this?
::: Joe's current LP was"Country Joe"1974 release, "Paradise With An Ocean View"hadn't been recorded.
::: Believe Barry hadn't had an LP out since his confusing 1972 work, "Melton,Levy&The Dey Bros.".
::: STILL hoping for 1975-01-28 BBC In Concert from a transcription disc source. Can YOU help?

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

DimeTravel 787 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! My copy hails from The Man In The Palace as SO MANY Fishtapes do (maybe 8-10 of our early tapes are his masters or from his collection) - a real Fishfan, but the Palace has a LOT of music halls. Praise he from whom so much fish has flown). Sincere thanks to whomever uploads this for me. ::: Corrections welcome ::: I've wandered thru this one a number of times over the years, regardless of the noisy bar crowd, as I enjoy the alternate arrangements. Overall, it is a strange kettle o' fish, one that would be much steamier if it were clearer & there had been less beer in the bar. You can see how it goes down with your aural digestive tracts. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
