Notes

Adelphi Theatre, Dublin, Ireland May 5, 1966

This CD is interesting to collectors mainly for the fact that it is one of the earlier ones to come out. This same company released RAH the previous year, which was in all probability, the first CD boot. This is the first time that the Dublin show makes a CD appearance. Unfortunately, the quality is not quite what one would hope. At the time it was released, it was more or less a curiosity in a world of thousands of vinyl bootlegs. It was sought after because of the novelty. The higher frequencies are muffled to mask the fact that it was recorded from a vinyl LP. The editing is sad, but much of that is due to the fact that the best known copy of the original recording is not much better. This one, though a marvel in 1988, is now best left to the completeist.
