Total Time ::: 1:24:28
::: EX- quality SBD. Check samples for folly, for fun or to fulfill fantasies.
::: Warts: Occasional guitar mike bumps, mostly lowered. Wizz' ever-in-motion legs come into play at times. Most dullspots & dropouts fixed but surely missed a few. #07 someone says "Hello" Lchan mike, maybe testing signal - lowered but audible. Touch of bass distortion at times but nothin' too naughty.
::: This is the mixed to MONO Mk2 version for a MUCH more well-balanced listen.
::: Wizz stumbles from tuning to song in many places so hope the trax markers past muster.
::: One of only two 1974 tapes to surface, from the same year The Village Thing label "When I Leave Berlin" LP was issued.
::: NOT "the oldest&largest Netherlands centre for outpatient forensic psychiatry"De Waag, but the 1st&oldest Haarlem folk club by that name.
::: For many years, this club was one of the premier Dutch folk venues & featured most all the great foll musicians in the 1960/70s. Still going!

DimeTravel 180 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Almost nothing of this vintage & length around, and a SBD to boot. Delightful. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
