I'm not sure if the cassette was recorded with Dolby on or off. I left it off as it sounded a bit
dull otherwise.


History:

This is my second attempt at seeding a torrents. The first one failed totally, no idea why.

I discovered this tape in the loft, well actually I knew it was there all along, but I was 
spurred into action by someone on DIME urging folks to dig out old tapes. I'm quite surpried at 
the quality of this recording despite it's age and the equipment it must have been recorded on.

It was recorded by Neil Corkindale, one of Manchesters greatest bootlegers in the early/mid 
seventies. Described, in a Melody Maker artice, by a high court judge as an "evil genius". I knew
him around that time, I wonder what ever happened to him? A few years later I worked with someone
who had ended up with all his master tapes when Neil got rid of them in an attempt to not get 
caught, despite there being no connection between the two of them that I knew of. Anyway I 
digress. 

I have decided to present this recording as it was on the cassette. Any cuts or fades you hear 
are on the tape I have.  I decided to do this in case some master wave editor out there can do a 
better job. You can't put back what's not there but you can clean out the crap if need be. I have
simply put in some track markers, what an excellent program Sony CD Architect is.

I was just turned 17 and not used to going to gigs. Born two or three years too late for all the 
music I really love to have seen the bands in their heyday. 
On the night in question the band were late arriving at the venue, busted in Exeter the night 
before I heard. It was due to start at 20:00, they hadn't even arrived by then. Anyway we were 
let in about 21:00, by this time the crowd were pretty uptight.
I met Daevid allen for the first time, he was just arriving and walked past me unnoticed by 
everyone else it seemed. I asked for his autograph, "why do you want my autograph, I'm no better 
than you..." or words to that effect. At my persistence he did a little drawing on my "program". 
God I wish I still had it, it would probably fetch a fortune on eBay, not that I'd sell it.
Anyway eventually the concert started at gone 22:00. My girlfriends father had arranged to pick 
us up at 23:00. So I didn't see all of what's on this tape.
