I removed all gaps which were a result of tape flip and change, and put broken songs back together. I also made a slight speed correction.
The recording of this show is hardly ever seen on tape trading lists. And traders usually have only the first set if they do happen to have it. I found one trader in England who had both sets and that's where I got it. The first set is better quality so that may be the reason the second set is hard to find. It's not an audience recording. The audience can be heard between songs but very faint and distant. I believe the recording was made on a reel-to-reel recorder from the stage. I doubt that they used a soundboard.
Daevid Allen had left the band shortly before, so they played as a trio. It's also the first show with a new roadie, Hugh Hopper.

I did the editing, mastering, digital transfer and the artwork for this version of this show. Please keep the artwork and text file, unaltered, together with the SHN's.

Please don't alter the sound of this recording. If you want to do something find a better quality tape of the show and work from that. Don't just take what I have done and screw with it.

For Trade or Give Away only - Do not Sell - Do not encode as MP3 or any other format which degrades the
quality of the music.
