I've been grooving to Simplex's Ray Charles boards recently so it motivated me to dust off the old master tape and share it here.
Not soundboard of course but overall pretty good quality (the sound system left a bit to be desired as well).
This was a pretty small club in Oklahoma City that hosted a lot of "revues" and country shows, I was fortunate enough to see brother Ray there put on a short but incredibly
soulful set.
After recording the tape it somehow ended up at my parent's house for well over 15 years and I totally forgot where it was. About 2 years ago I retrieved 4 or 5 master recordings I had done for them and fortunately this was amongst them.

Unfortunately, the exact date was not written on the tape, only Feb 1988.

I think I traded it once in all those years so it is likely not in general circulation but may be in limited circulation at this point.

A couple of the tunes I’m not 100% sure of the title (specifically Track 2).

As with all my audience masters, sound samples attached so there is no
disappointment or wasted bandwidth.

Enjoy!
