Lineage

Unknown Gen SBD > CDR Trade > EAC > Soundforge 8 > CDWave 1.95 > FLAC 8

Notes
Don’t be fooled by ‘SBD’ this is a fairly generated show with tape wear and hiss.
I’ve fixed the drop outs by copying the good channel across using Soundforge and re-tracked using CDWave,
nothing else has been altered other than a fade out on Garageland.
This copy contains a short interview with who sounds like Kid Jensen from BBC Radio 1(or 2)

From BMC
Taken direct and raw from the soundboard the best circulating recording captures all the instrumentation very well
and more importantly the intensity and attack of the performance. Its faults are mainly due to tape wear and it being
at least one copy, but more probably several copies off the master.
There is some hiss and numerous minor tape dropouts but its faults can’t detract from it being a highly enjoyable sound.
A number of other faults are from the original soundboard problems as the soundman wrestled with the legendary Clash volumes.
Can anyone turn up a master or lower generation copy?
