When I was very, very young, a long time ago in 2003, before bit torrenting had taken hold, I had a series of snail trades with a UK trader that led me to get scores of Richard Thompson shows. Every couple of months we would exchange huge parcels of shows, and for me it was like Christmas 6 times a year. This was a show I received. I realize now that the UK trader was less sophisticated than me about the software we used and he was indifferent to documenting lineages. This show was such an example: on two CDs, it had 64 tracks. Once I extracted it with EAC, it was clear a cat had been sitting on the keyboard while the show was being tracked. There were track markings everywhere. So I fixed it.

This was ten days after the reworked Kendal show of njap53's I reseeded earlier last week. It sounds like the venue could have been like a pub or something. I don't think the Crest Hotel is around anymore, or if it is it's now called something else.
