analysis
"Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader (paperhed) who hooked me
up with a copy. I originally mastered this 2009-10-11.
The levels were a bit high in the right channel, and I balanced it out a bit.
Beyond that, the only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes from WAVs from this dub, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH;
no CD-Rs or EACs".
"It's stereo, but notta lotta separation, at least during the music.
Not the most perfect sounding tape, but hey it's Massacre & it's certainly listenable.
The source tape had the track after Third Street cut off / repeated again but
uninterrupted on that second pass.
The last track was tucked on the end of another trade tape, with a few seconds of crowd
overlap.
Both of these I was able to seamlessly edit together during crowd segments.
Some have this dated as 1980, but the typed-by-the-trader stickers on both tapes that make
up this show note 1981.
I wasn't there way back when, so I don't know which is right, but I'm going with the print
on those stickers.
The CD's "Conversations With White Arc" was said to be recorded here, but it's
not present on this tape.
Fred says at the end that they're taking a break / coming out for another set". |
