The Raspberries (Eric Carmen, etc.) - 1973 through 1978 (SBD - from Liberated Bootleg "Berry Berry Good!!"; Starrcade label - 78 Minutes Long) U.S.A.
Contrast Clause: A previous offer of the 1973 DKRC portion was presented at: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=392120 & 392695
The previous 392120 offer is the video. The previous 392695 offer is an audio offer from a Liberated Bootleg, but shorter in length.
Contrast Clause: A previous offer of the 1974 DKRC portion was presented at: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=392695
The previous 392695 offer is from a different Liberated Bootleg, of lesser quality. This offer is also from a Liberated Bootleg, but is an upgrade in sound.
This recording comes from a 2005 download (offered by popgirl7, THX!!!), but these are not those original files.
We're all looking for upgrades, alternate sources, & uncirculated Raspberries shows.
If you have any of those, please share or get them to someone that can do so.
Enjoy!!

ORIGINAL Notes:
a - As with many older silver bootlegs, this set is TAO, or rather it gives the illusion of being so, with the usual silent breaks appearing between the tracks. However, because editing out the silence does not result in a seamless transition - some tracks fade in, applause has been edited out, etc - I have not made any alterations or attempted to "correct" anything regarding the tracking.
b - There are numerous instances of light crackling, particularly during the Don Kirschner tracks. As I have owned two copies of this boot, and am familiar with a third copy, and as they all suffered from the same noise problem and still extract consistently and without errors, it appears to be inherent in either the mastering or manufacture.
c - The sound quality of the TV broadcast material is fair, the 1998 reunion tracks are very good indeed and are either SBd or FM. Screenshot of spectral + frequency analysis is enclosed. [2005-08, popgirl7 on DIME]
