Total Time ::: 31:30

::: Fine AUD but a bit distant with some audience noise. Issues compensated for somewhat by relatively clean nice stereo sound. Check samples to form yer own opinion, try the band or break a few beads of anticipatory sweat.
::: Warts: Few unrepairable dropouts. Overall a bit clearer & less audience noise than the Big Brother set. Perhaps louder?
::: The bill was Wishful Thinking, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Traffic.
::: Taper shut off recorder between many of the songs.
::: NOTE: This one is ripe for EQ. If someone really knows what they are doing, the high end IS THERE to be rescued & this thing sounds far better with EQ without increasing hiss. I'd be very interested in a properly EQ'd remaster, so please have at it & post. Thanks in advance!

CoolSonics 139 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! Believe my copy hailed from his honor NS outta the NW, hope his chemical attenuation is perfectly aligned & his collector obsessiveness continues to flourish. BTW if you read this, email me, I gotta question for ya. ::: Corrections welcome ::: This is the British rock group that released the 1971 album "Hiroshima". The started out in the 1960s as a beat outfit then morphed into a rock, psych & UK style prog outfit. While they seem a bit light at times, much of it is interesting & well played with some 3 part vocal harmonies & at times the sound is fairly heavy & even psychedelic. Seem like their album has some kinda cult status so let's see if a few fansects come crawling outta the woodwork. Enjoy.

Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes&more & Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
