This is uploaded by request(s). This is transferred from the original vinyl as
noted above. This is the first issue (not sure if it has been reissued). The
LP was bought new from Germany when it was released in the 80's and only played
once (really!). It's a very clean, pretty well pressed import without much
record noise present. It seems to have been fairly rare (one of the bigger lists
I've seen has this show as 30 minutes, so this may have been from a rare master).

The recording is good for this vintage of Roxy but plagued by some boominess and
a lack of mid-range emphasis. I spent about five minutes toying with it in Cool
Edit and was able to improve it about a grade, so I'm sure someone who really
knows what they're doing could remix this to sound a lot better. It's really
begging for a remaster. I thought about doing something with it and putting up
both versions but don't really have the time or enough experience with various
software to do the best job. Hopefully someone else will.

If I have time I'll include some photos of it.

More to come though it may take a while to get them played...
