Remaster Notes:

Tape kindly supplied by blog friend R.C. many thanks to him.

Really nice recording by the taper, many thanks to him/her & to all who shared along the way.

Not to bad for talkers on here, which is a plus.

Only issue was from the end of track 7 to track 10 the taper's mic is playing up.

This caused some glitches, have sorted them as well as I can, 

they are only very short in length, does not spoil the listen, you will probably not notice them.

This then needed some minimal restoration & some really light remastering.

If CT are your thing this will be for you.

Enjoy...

To much reverb from the soundboard on "Sugar Hiccup" it is not from my work.

Lots of talkers around the taper adding there own cheers/whoops/clapping.

Probably one for hardcore fans only.

Remaster Notes:

Many thanks to R.C. for sharing all his tapes with us, much appreciated.

Sounded quite muffled on the original, have managed to make it a lot clearer.

Needed lots of restoration & some gentle remastering was all it could handle.

I did a lot of editing when I retracked the files, flows much better now.

A couple of tracks I faded out then in, worked better (I.M.O.). 

There are talkers on here, but not to bad overall, 

but this is probably for hardcore fans only & collectors.

If the original was 3/10 then this is 5/10.

Anyway....

If you par take enjoy.

Remaster Notes:

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

This turned out well.

Needed some restoration, gentle touches of remastering & then a retrack.

After the first 4 songs the crowd are told to go back to there seats.

They then play 2 more numbers & they are told standing (in the aisles) will start a fire!

This will appeal to anyone who has an interest in this phase of the band.

There are talkers (mostly between songs) but not that bad.

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.

Did some editing, removed the encore break & closing credits, flows better without DJ chatter.

Remaster Notes:-

An excellent audience recording.

Sadly I do not have the taper details.

This show was very kindly shared with me by Rob, many thanks & appreciation his way.

I only got to know Rob via blog foundation Philippe, 

he is legend and has my gratitiude for going way beyond the call of duty.

As there are not that many B.L. shows I gave this full attention.

Needed very little remastering really, the recording was that good.

Just some gentle EQ & limiting.

The only thing not 100% with the original was the editing.

So I retracked the whole show creating many new tracks!

Great performance by the band & great renditions of the only album they released.

Some great J.D. & New Order songs as well.

Barney on fine form with his running comments on anything & everything, 

be sure to make you smile!

Anyway this will not disappoint, cracking sound, 10/10, 5 Stars etc.

Mega thanks to him for all he has shared here.

Great capture (tip my hat to the taper in thanks), 

mild distortion in places but other wise really good.

Needed some restoration & took nicely to some remastering.

For an audience recording this is 10/10, no dreaded talkers,

just a fine performance captured well.

The band didn't have a deal at this point in time & got the gig by a demo tape.

As we all know they were soon picked up and the rest is history.
