Comments

Nice recording that brings very good clarity and crispness, with a good capture of all instruments. Audience is audible between songs, but they shut up when the band is playing. It was transferred from cassette to CDR by Justin Cook. These are his comments (taken from his website http://www.justinscdrtrading.com):

I converted this recording from cassette to CDR. The cassette that I used was a first generation copy of the master recording. There is virtually no background noise and crowd noise is virtually non existent. After the microphones are adjusted a bit during the intro to "Streets", this recording is virtually flawless. The high end may be just a bit harsh, but this is a fantastic recording nonetheless. "People Get Ready" was included in between "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Help" on the analog recording. Rather than placing it in its true location between "Help" and "Bad" and having to fade numerous songs in and out, I decided to include it as a sort of "bonus track" after "40".
