Hi to all 


Welcome to my series of mostly uncirculated masters & very low generation shows that i recorded or 
received in trades in my younger days most of my masters have not been circulated or only traded 
once or twice i used to trade a lot in the 70s - 80s & i have many many shows well in excess of 7,500 
tapes.
Of these shows about 120 - 150 are  my masters they where always on my trading list but not many
got traded so i boxed them all up in the late 80s now i have decided to go through them  & upload 
some of them.
I recorded many bands from Genesis  Bowie  Springsteen  - Hawkwind  - Hackett  Gabriel  
Marillion plus many many others i will try & upload a least one  show a week if not two.
To record theses shows i used a Sony portable hand held tape recorder with built in stereo mics.  
I always used good quality tapes to record on mainly T.D.K.  
I used to insert the tape deck in a empty coffee flask with the inside taken out of the flask to get past 
the security ah those where the days.
The only thing i ask is please dont sell these recording & dont convert to mp3 etc & if you do 
( only for your own use ).  Please dont change any of the files or info files etc this is so that people 
can tell the difference between this source & other sources as many people like to compare different 
versions of shows.
Also please do not remaster these shows the reason for this is these days there are far to many 
remasters of shows. Its ok have one remaster etc, but some are remastered that many times by 
different people there can be at least 10 different remasters of a show from the same source & it can 
get a bit tedious.

I have now up-dated my tape decks for transfering recordings from audio tapes to my PC. I am now 
using the following decks 
Either 
Nakamichi 1000ZXL Gold Edition Or 
Nakamichi Dragon 

Both theses decks are considered to be the best Tape decks ever made both have auto tape Azimuth 
Alinement which will be used on all transfers. Both Decks have been Up-dated and serviced by 
trained Nakamichi specialists.
I have for the past 6 month been trying out and expermenting with theses decks and 
they are well worth the money amazing sound ( And should be for the money they cost )

Firstly a big big thank you to Mark ( Merday ) for sending me this recording and for allowing 
me to transfer it and to upload it.

Here is what Mark told me about the recording 

I think that the Genesis show was on a Philips dictation quality portable cassette mono deck with a 
pencil microphone.  I think it was a version of this:  
http://www.acquris.se/media/product.php?id=789&lang=en    
Either Lo-Fi or judging by the results No-Fi. 
As I recall, each raw recording was transferred to other cassettes through my stereo using no 
playback Dolby and with only a bit of bass/treble boost and on-the-fly editing 
(for gaps, flips, level eq, etc.), so the Genesis show is 1st generation, not master recordings.
I think we were 25 rows back, and the venue wasn't the best either.
Collins was rather tentative, and, if memory serves, this was a warmup gig for Toronto the next night.
This copy is obviously from our master, which got traded to a few deaf collectors a couple of decades 
ago.  We took the master (cheapo) cassettes, cut out all of the gaps, did some bass/treble basic eq, 
and let it loose (oh yeah, a remaining synapse is flashing "Memorex" at me).
An explanation for the gaps (especially the truncated Supper's Ready) - their 
( then new and impressive) laser show left blank tape whenever it was turned on!!!  
No logical explanation, and no scientific reason was given by the Toronto Star audio columnist 
when I wrote in.  A mystery to this day.
For those unfamiliar with sneaking in taping equipment in the day, I had the unit hanging by its strap 
down my back under my coat.  Some doofus walked into me, the recorder swung into view, and a 
security critter ran up, demanding:  "What's that?"  "A tape recorder" I said.  "What's it for?".  
"For taping the show."  He thought for a moment, gears a grinding, and then said:  "OK, go ahead.  
I'm just looking for booze."

Many many thanks to Mark for sending me a copy & for taping the show.  

I hope you enjoy this show and hope it is a up-grade to existing versions 
I also have a version of this show from another source i got in the 80s im sure it is the full show
i will dig it out sometime next year and upload it.
 
Please  if you want to upload it to other sites please wait a week or so as i will be uploading these 
shows to a couple of other torrent sites after it has run its course on here 

As Usual Please dont convert to mp3 ( only for your own use if you do ) Please Keep all the info files 
md5 etc in the folder so that other collectors know which version this is etc and  most of all 
DO NOT SELL.

PLEASE NOTE.

This series is from my own personal collection they are NOT SOURCED FROM ANY CDRs / 
OTHER TORRENT SITES ETC.
They are from recordings that i traded for between 20 - 35 years ago on audio tape as stated above 
they have all been boxed up for the past 20 or so years. 
This is the first time any of them have been Digitally transfered and torrented. All i am doing to the 
recordings in nero wave editor is inproving the volume ( if low),
also equallizing the left and right channel where needed. Removing hiss etc ( If i can ).
Recordings in this series that have a generation linage are the correct linage as to what i was told when 
i was sent the recordings. Most of the traders i traded with where well known traders so i have no 
reason to believe they are not the true Linage if i had any doubt to the linage at the time i did not 
write it down on the tape so all the low generation recordings in this series have a well known and 
correct linage.

Please do not remaster any of theses If you wish to do remastering of this source find yourself a 
better quality version and remaster that.
This version is how i remembered hearing it all them years ago and how it sounded when it was 
recorded the way it should be heard.

THIS IS FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT THERE TWO PENITHWORTH IN 
AND ARE NOT SATISFIED. 
I PUT SAMPLES UP TO EVERY RECORDING I UPLOAD MOST PEOPLE 99% ARE SATISFIED 
I PUT THE SAMPLES UP SO YOU CAN HEAR THEM BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THEM IF 
YOU DONT LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR ITS SIMPLE YOU DONT HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT.
I OR OTHER UPLOADERS ON THESE SITES DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND TIME AND EFFORT 
RECORDING THESE SHOW ON A PC ETC TO UPLOAD THEM  BUT WE DO AND DO IT 
GLADLY SO THAT OTHER TRADERS CAN HAVE THE SHOWS ETC AND ENJOY THEM.
I HAVE NEVER SAID THE SHOWS I PUT UP ARE PREFECT IN ANY WAY BUT I DO THEM 
TO THE BEST OF MY ABILLITY IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT DOWNLOAD THEM.

THATS MY MOAN FOR THE DAY SORRY LOL  
 
Please also buy the bands offical stuff and support them etc.
Thanks to all the Artists for there great music and to all the traders for keeping live music alive.
