Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

Here's Uncle Ted and crew circa the release of the "Tooth, Fang & Claw" album. The
sound is generally fairly good, save some slight hiss, and some strange popping noises
that appear mostly between songs. I don't know if these come from something
bumping the microphone, or that the limiter in the cassette deck is being overloaded
from the volume. I'm sure there was plenty of volume! This is near the end of THE
AMBOY DUKES moniker. This is an interesting recording as it has an early and slightly
different version of "Stranglehold", and the only known version I've ever seen of "Sasha",
a rare mellow tune from the Nuge. This was recorded by the same taper who did the
Hammond, Indiana show (Torrent # 287011), so if you liked that one, this is similar
though not quite as good sound quality. The date is not totally certain, as Ted
announces that the "Tooth, Fang & Claw" album is "out this week", and I've seen
conflicting months of release from July 1974 to October 1974. The album notes state
that the record was recorded at the "Sound Pit" in Atlanta in June & July 1974, and
mixed there and at the "Hit Factory" in New York, so I find the July release hard to
believe. If anybody can shed some light on the subject, please do so. Enjoy!
