Remaster Notes:

Many thanks to the taper (excellent recording) and to all who shared the way.

Biggest issues: 

drums to loud, bass bit boomy, vocals to buried in the mix.

I have fixed these and to my ears this is a better listen.

Re-tracked the files with some editing & fades.

My basic artwork offered.

Enjoy...

Many thanks to the blog for sharing.

And to the taper for being there and pressing record.

Better than the other FB3 in sonic terms.

Did what I could to make a better listen.

Ended up re-tracking it.

Some talkers but mostly behaving during the music.

A drunken git (Terry's words) keeps shouting/whistling for the girls to get there kit off.

He offers his willy instead!!

Hilarious!!

Acapella version of "wondering" is a great way to finish the set.

Basic artwork by me included.

For Terry he is greatly missed.

Enjoy...

Many thanks to the blog for sharing some great files.

This was in bad shape.

No dynamics to speak of.

Soaked in hiss really tough work trying to lift it up.

Must be 3rd generation at least.

I eventually got it to this.

If the original was 4/10 then this is a solid 7/10.

Don't expect to much and you may enjoy the listening.

Some clappers/talkers but mostly in-between songs.

Not that many recordings in circulation for the FB3 so this is very welcome.

My basic artwork offered.

Original notes / covers included.

Dedicated to the greatly missed Terry.

An interesting version of The Doors classic "The End" thrown in.

Enjoy...
