Total Time ::: 1:05:07
::: Very nice audience tape. You could perhaps turn up the bass a bit. Check the samples to check the timbre or shiver yer timbers as the case may be.
::: Steeleye Span founders (& Terry is ex-Sweeney's Men & pre-Pogues here). Joyful first class folkrock rivaling anything out there. Don't miss it!
::: Their guitarist David Morrison gives us 2 of his songs. #09 "When The River Runs Dry" (David with Gay & Terry) & #10 "That Ain't So" (David solo).
Recording Information ::: "large" Marantz cassette recorder with built-in microphone -> master cassette (normal bias), Dolby off -> Sony SL-HF750 Super Beta hi-fi -> 1st generation Sony Betamax L750 tape. My notes said stereo, but I think this is mono.

CoolSonics 100 ::: Thanks to the original taper, Mr Smith, an enthusiastic music lover of the first order! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Thanks to Zongo for taper introductions & tape assistance. This is high on the pinnacle of the folkrock scene. Take this along with yer fave Pentangle, Fairport, Steeleye & Incredibles to the desert island of yer choice (and wish you had perfect live gigs of Trees, Spriguns, Forest, Dr. Strangely Strange & C.O.B. to add to the mix). Astounding musical perfection. If you don't have their albums & don't know where to start, check out the CD collection that's around. A better transfer will be attempted at some point in the future from a digital VHS-PCM alternate copy which will hopefully improve things, including decreasing some background noise & buzz from the aging Beta transfer alignment issues. But at the rate things are going, I decided to get this out so people can enjoy it, as the years are flying by...
More recordings on the way now that I am able to make up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support & Lochner for mikes & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Kneesfudd
