New to Dimeadozen! In fact, I've not seen it "in the wild" before, although I suspect many of you may have this.

I don't keep notes on who I traded with, but my guess is I picked this up back in 1984/5 when I was very actively tape trading. I do rememeber thinking "St Austell, not seen that one before". So I listened to it (it sounded OK, nothing amazing I thought) and into the pile of boxes into went...until now....

I am on a quest to digitise as much as possible, so finding better copies of my tapes back from the day. However, I've never seen this one, so I thought I'd chuck it out there. In fact when I re-listened to it during this process, I was surprised at how good it sounds. I reckon its low gen but I am making no claims, as I cannot substantiate anything.

I've done a straight tape to WAV transfer - no fiddling with the EQ etc as it sounds pretty OK. The show came to me on a pair of C60s and the cuts and blips you hear are as they were were originally dubbed.

Based on the gig set-list two days before, it looks like a couple of songs (the encores) were not recorded. I guess the local bus service did not run late, despite it being a Saturday night! - Although Plant does mention that "the bar will be closing soon", so possibly that was the distraction.

I hope you enjoy it. If you have a better version, I'd love to hear it.

Please do not sell. And remember where it came from.
