Remaster Notes:
Many thanks to the taper for a great recording & sharing.
HUGE thanks to Eric as always for all he does with creating the artwork.
Ran a little fast so this has been slowed down.
Not much restoration needed & then gentle touches with the remastering.
I retracked the files, flows much better.
There are a few talkers, worse by far is "Turkish", but nothing else major.
Much to recommend with this offering.

Many thanks to Barbedwire for sharing this.
Much appreciation for the artwork to Eric.
Overall this is great.
Had/still has some noise issues when the volume is quiet.
Did what I could to remove as much as possible.
Needed loads of restoration, remastered well & then I re-tracked the files, flows better.
If you have the original & can cope with the nosie then this is for you.

Remaster Notes:
Many thanks to the taper & R.C. for sharing, much appreciated.
Great artwork kindly provided by Eric.
This needed some restoration, editing & gentle remastering.
Few things to mention:
The Spangle Maker suffers from tape issues, 
after that track it becomes much better tape issue wise.
Talkers... Loads... 
Low in all the tracks pretty much.
Between songs lots of chanting "here we go".
So...
If you can handle the above then this might be for you.
