Remaster Notes:-

This arrived at my doorstep as one long flac file.
It needed very little doing to it.
The recording was excellent,
no taper details but they deserve much praise for what they did.
Just added some light touches & job done.
Really pleased with how it turned out.
A really enjoyable listen.
Cracking version of "flag day" & listen out for Ted's bass going all wrong in "think for a minute",
although he does manage to pull it back for the ending.
As always enjoy....

Dream Remastered @ Reflecting Sound Studios, Southampton, England, 2018.

Update 16th March 2018:

Some additional info for your Housemartins at the Old Show Boat link.  That was recorded by a fine fellow named Rocker, who was the original drummer for the Flatmates.  He was also a local promoter in Bristol and actually booked the Housemartins gig.  He deserves all credit for the taping and sharing of it.  He’s currently a DJ on a John Peel themed radio program on Dandelion Radio.  
Also that gig would’ve had Ted key on bass.

All best!

Kip

  2. You're most welcome John.
    Have a lot planned for the future centred around Paul Heaton [martins/south/solo] so keep checking back now & then.
    Hope you enjoy the show & any others that you want.
