Notes:
I had a wonderful opportunity to head over to Stonecutter’s house to check out his archive of tapes back in April of 2017. Already I can’t believe it has been that long. I have transferred a bunch of tapes and I am finally getting around to editing them. The collection of tapes are overwhelming and I had no idea which ones I wanted to start on first. This is a Smiths recording that comes from a first generation cassette tape. The recording sounds good, it ran a little slow and I have tried to compensate for that by speeding up the recording post-transfer. A very solid setlist!

I will be bringing more from Stonecutter’s archives in the coming weeks. Probably one or two shows a day, I hope! Thanks again for Stonecutter allowing me to take some of his collection to work on as there are a lot of gems in there that I know a lot will be excited about!
