Audience tape of unknown generation. Thanks to SEETHEFUZZ7 for digitalizing it from tape and sending it to me.
Rec. Info:
Cassette of unknown generation -> transfer via Nakamichi tapedeck DR3 -> wav-file -> wetransfer -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> DIME
Vg sound after some EQ was done (bass lifted). Levels adjusted. Track 12 (band introduction) cuts in obviously to tape flip. The last track is cut before the end.
Great stuff and seemingly one of (if not the) first recordings of Robyn with the Egyptians. I found the setlist (with all song lyrics) on this great site: http://www.jh3.com/robyn/base/gig.asp?chubb=114.
But there the gig is listed as September 29. Maybe someone can clarify this? There is a lot of chatter fom Robyn and some guys from the audience between the songs so I made a separate track with chatter between
I'm Only You and Flavour of Night. A highlight is certainly the very funky version of Only the Stones Remain. It's a pity that the last song, Goodnight I Say, is cut before the end but this makes the tape not really
less enjoyable.
