In complete contrast to the before posted 1988-12-09 Gammelsdorf show, where almost no bass
was present, this recording has unfortunately more than enough. While lower parts come out
very clear and crisp, the higher volume sequences are marred by overpowered bass booms. On the
original tape it was tried to reduce this by cutting off all bass, making it terribly thin
sounding. I tried to restore this, but with the result of some very fuzzy moments. Scratching
the door...Anyway, I know that some of you out there are really die-hard FLIPS collectors, and
don't be shy, it isn't that bad either. Also, it should be noted, that on tracks 3+4 a very
looney "LABERKOPP" (as I think they say in Frankfurt-Area-German for DUMBCHATTER) is talking
straight to the taper. My oh my...You never can tell, what good or bad surprises these old tapes
are giving to you...SB
