Fairport Convention
City Hall
Newcastle, UK
16th October 1975

PLEASE READ... this is from the Rising For The Moon tour. It has circulated for many years from the days when I used to do tape trading. I removed 'Lark' and rearranged the order to circulate on a C90. This is going back to the master - on a C120!! Some EQ applied in Cool Edit- mainly rolling off the lower frequencies a little. I've deliberately not removed the hiss - it's there but not too obtrusive. From memory it was recorded on an ITT stereo recorder but with a mono (wired to both pins) mic and I was sat in the front row of the balcony. Converted to FLAC using Traders Little Helper.

This is NOT a high quality recording but it is fairly rare to find anything with Sandy and Trevor from the UK tour. Please have a listen to the samples (bearing in mind they will be mp3) before you download. I have deliberately included where there is a little distortion so you know what to expect in places. One for the completists or serious fans I think.
