Remaster Notes:-

An okay audience recording for it's age.

It is 4 or 5 out of 10.

So don't expect to much from this.

Took a fair amount of restoration, I did what I could to make it more listenable.

Lots of talkers around the taper at various points, 

adding there own cheers/whoops/clapping.

Probably one for hardcore fans only, to complete collections.

Remaster Notes:

Many thanks to letsgo for sharing, much appreciated.

Some signs of tape wear on this, but given the age is understandable.

Levels were up/down in places, did what I could to level things out, 

not 100% but close enough for me.

Have removed almost all DJ chat when re-tracking the files 

(Just Can't Get Enough there is a tiny bit at the start), 

flows much better now, just that one small section defeated me!

Needed some restoration & remastered well with some light touches.

If you have this already I think is a major improvement, so worth your attention.

My basic artwork as usual included.

Enjoy....

Remaster Notes:-

Track 11 tape flip, joined at 5 seconds in, nothing lost. 

Track 20 cuts at end, so faded.

From the Richard Coulthard collection.

A huge amount of thanks to him for sharing his treasures.

What a gent!

Did my thing & hear it is.

Has some brickwalling on the vocals in places,

was on the master, did what I could to tame it down.

Turned out nice, hardly any talkers,

the clapping at the end of each song is annoying,

I have reduced it down as much as possible.

Hope you enjoy...

Remaster Notes:

Many thanks to the taper & R.C. for the share, both much appreciated.

This needed quite a bit doing to it.

Most of the restoration was good, the exception being the first track.

Ended up fadng it in, was quite bad, it has level issues still.

All good from track 2 onward.

The remastering went well, sounds a lot better for it.

All in all worth the effort & time it took.

I would rate this a solid 8/10 for an audience recording of the age/generation. 

Talkers on here mostly only between songs, the odd comment in the quiet moments,

not to bad, doesn't spoil the listen that much.

Hope you enjoy it many times.
