a little work was done on balancing channels and a slight noise reduction applied to
minimise the more obvious tape hiss but no further EQ


This tape was acquired from a Non-Neil collector based in Chicago. He insisted on passing it to me
personally, along with a couple of other shows, and as a result came to my house when he was
visiting London in Summer 1973. Despite my requests that he use a better quality tape the show came on basic Maxell tape
in label-less cassettes - the like of which I have never seen since. And I had to pay for the cost of the tapes as well
as I had nothing he wanted in exchange. All very odd. But odder still is the fact that in the intervening 39 years
I have never come across the master or even a better quality source tape. All copies in circulation come from dubs
of this cassette and the previous Dime upload was from a lossy transfer. I have labelled this as low generation -
it is possibly first but I have no evidence to support that. The quality of the recording is average only.
