Rank Strangers Original notes:
Hello!
Here's my recording of this show, this version has not been posted before, I only sent a couple of cassettes around in the seventies.
Recorded from the middle of the Grugahalle with a cheap cassette-recorder, this is the complete show, the only gap occurs between YCAGWYW and MR when the cassette was turned over.
Transfer to digital was done by Watchit. He combined my recording with the too few tracks of excellent quality from the vinyl bootleg, the version posted here is a straight transfer of my cassette.

This is another request my friends and I have recieved from fellow Dime members, we hope that everyone who requested a Stones remaster will enjoy the work we've done.
This is our first attempt at remastering a Stones recording, something we've wanted to do for a long time, but have had a hard time finding the right one to work on.
Since this is our first attempt at remastering a Stones recording, we thought the best thing to do was just do a straight remaster of a tape source/recording instead of doing something like a merge or a matrix which would require multiple sources (something we don't have at our disposal) and an understanding of Stones bootlegs (something we don't fully possess), and just see how it goes (the response towards it).
I don't know very much about the history of this recording or Stones recordings in general, but from what I've gathered from the notes posted in the original unremastered torrent, this recording is one of 2 known tape sources in circulation, one was pressed to vinyl, and there's this source (which was transferred from the tapers cassettes).
I'm guessing that this recording is the 2nd tape source because the vinyl would of course pre-date a source that was a direct transfer from a tapers cassettes to a torrent, but if I'm wrong about the sources, I'll gladly fix the information.
I don't know what the vinyl LP source of this show sounds like, but this source is a very good audience recording (even though the taper says it was done on a cheap tape recorder) that sounds like it was taped fairly close to the stage, and is almost a complete recording (it's just missing a small portion of crowd cheers after the band finish performing "You Can't Always Get What You Want").
I've tried to get the lineage of this recording down as clearly as possible, I apologize if any of it is wrong, I personally found the raw recording lineage to be a little vague.
From what I've gathered from the information that was posted in the original textfile, the taper (Rank Stranger) gave someone his master to transfer digitally (Watchit).
The tape was converted to digital format, and was converted to Flac files using Nero and then made into a torrent.
So I understand the original lineage to be this:
Master > Digital Transfer > Nero > Flac > Torrent.
The guitars and vocals are the most dominant in the mix, it's lacking a bit in low end, drum fills, and venue presence.
So the goals of this project were to:
- Add all the things the raw recording was missing (low end, drum fills, and give the recording a sense of ambience and venue presence).
- Balance the instruments as much as possible.
- Bring out all of the things that might be hidden in the recording (crowd cheers, clapping, commentary, etc).
- We've given the project a gentle volume boost, we hope it's loud enough for everyone here.
The title is an homage to the taper "Rank Stranger".
Hope everyone here will enjoy this.
Cheers!
