> The band was COB clive's original band

Aha, that would make sense - misspelled COBB on the poster...

> So there were 2 tapers then

Really? I guess you would have to compare the off-stage/near mic noises to make this deduction (I only have the sugarmegs version at this time). But I would have thought that somewhat unlikely (could be wrong of course...)

In the info reproduced on the sugarmegs site, the uploader states:



"I got this in a deplorable condition on CD and couldn't listen to it without immediately jumping to my CD player and either try to adjust the sound or shut off everything. Not enough with that, some "friendly" burning program had obviously inserted pauses of 2 seconds between the track marks, which in a live concert is not really the one thing to do. Cover would have been a phoptocopy of a photocopy...

That's what I did:

I took the disc, adjusted the sound, made an analog recording on my Yamaha standalone CD recorder, carried everything to my computer and cut the spaces from between the tracks and set new track marks...

And this is what I got:

1. I can hear Sandy sing!
2. I don't have to jump up and fumble at buttons to keep myself from going insane.
3. I listen to an early seventies cassette recorder and a really nice concert.

They didn't have the same technical but the same nervous equipment back then, so I hope you'll enjoy the concert with all its imperfections as well as I do.

There's some ugly tone - from the piano I guess. Perhaps that Low-Fi recorder was simply put onto the piano...sounds like the recorder's own resonance at certain notes that perhaps make it jump or vibrate...
And there's someone mounting an alarm clock... I wonder what this can be for at a Sandy Denny concert?!? "



This is exactly the same as on the Dime copy at http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=113271 (you have to be logged in to see this). So I would have thought they were versions of the same file; maybe it would be interesting to see how the 2 waveforms compare...
