Remaster Notes:-

Many thanks to Rob for sharing this on his blog & Ratpie for sharing originally.
This had a low level hum all the way through it at 50hz and has been removed.
Still some hum remains but nowhere near as bad as what it was.
There is some distortion on "Broken Horse".
There is a major tape glitch in "My Secret Country"
from 1:46 to 1:54, tried to make it less painful, but failed.
There is slight distortion on "Only Business".
There is another major tape glitch in "1 & 1/2 Hours ago
from 2:46 to 3:04 which again I failed to repair.
Removed as much tape hiss as was possible without squashing the dynamics,
some remains, always a balancing act.
Then just some gentle remastering & here it is.
So (mostly) wonderful, if there was no tape issues this would be amazing.
Hope you enjoy it as it is.

Dream Remastered @ Reflecting Sound Studios, Southampton, England, 2019.

Lineage:-

Mixing desk > Reel recorder > K7 > CD > FLAC

Notes:-

RDF tweak in Audacity (cannot recall exactly what I did it was a while back but I'm guessing hiss reduction and a bit of compression)

A picture disc was bootlegged from this very recording (actually a copy of my tape), but the mastering work was awful and the sound quality is a lot worse than the original - also, it has 11 tracks, here we have 17. This is the whole thing, from the venue's manager introduction straight to the encores.

I have vined a copy of this cd many years ago, in my PaisleyWeeds Yahoo group, so some of you might have got it already. Just check the timing and number of songs.

QUALITY: A-
TIMING: 62:54

Hope you enjoy.
All the best from Italy. Maurizio 'Ratpie'.
