The John Langdon Series

A variety of uncirculated analog and digital masters, spanning three decades...

John Langdon has been taping shows for more than twenty years, a great many of them documenting the music scene in Albuquerque in the 80s and 90s. Most of his shows are on tape cassettes, but a great many of them are on seven or ten inch reels. Over the course of time they will begin to see the light of day and be shared with music lovers everywhere. Additionally, he has further documented many of these shows with photographic images, which will be the basis for the artwork created for these shows. Thanks to John for his generosity in sharing what he's collected.

Everyone already has enough Stevie Ray, probably, but just in case someone out there is interested in something new -- something uncirculated -- here's the Miami show from November 1985. Please listen to the samples before you download so you won't be disappointed by any deficits in the audio quality.
