This is part one of a series of rare and uncirculating recordings of Mick Taylor with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in Europe 1982 and 1983. With thanks to nzb who provided half a dozen of rare shows (Turin '82, Brescia '82, Verona '82, Clermont Ferrand '83, Basel '83 and Zurich '83), thanks to my friend Riccardo (MrNo) who dug out the previously uncirculating recording of Padova '82 and thanks to Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who put this project together, here's the first recording

Quote StonyRoad
The original files came from a tape transfer, on which the recording was a little too saturated with muddy sound. I reduced the sound -1db, then I added more treble (see the filter use in the artwork file) - the results are better now (to my ears).
Not much else was done, except improving the beginning of the recording with a fade-in. The ends of the two CD-R's (originally tape sides) had brutal stops, but I decided to leave it like that - I did not want to lose some more music due to fade-outs.
