I just really hate that particular sound since it has none of the qualities of an acoustic guitar to my ears but perhaps that is what I should expect!

The vocal will be distorting like the clappers probably - I just made a quick set of wav files via Audacity off the tape to pass it to one of the people I was playing with so he could hear what we had done. The levels probably need fiddling with - but nothing is very high tech. The tape deck has an automatic limiter on it so there is very little control and I have not really had time to experiment with levels out of the amp etc etc The main aim was to get a record of the event so that we can see all the things we need to work on and what went well etc What I have is ok for seeing if we were playing in time and tune etc

The vocals are distorting and I'm not sure whether it is too high out of the amp, the recorder or the Audacity settings - I will experiment. There's a verse of Drunk on Moon by Tom Waits here (about 650kb) in case you have a thought. I'm more wary of putting vocals up than a bit of guitar playing - weird isn't it (somehow much more personal perhaps)?
