A few of you may recall that last year I dug out my collection of George Harrison audio cassettes from his tour in Japan and trans-coded them all too digital. I decided it was time to embark on another project. For no particular reason I have chosen to tackle the Wings over the World tour of 75-76. Working strictly from cassettes sources that I collected back in the 70's and 80's, I will be posting every show that I have from this tour along with any interviews, sound-checks, press conferences and whatever else might relate. I am going to do them in chronological order and it is going to take some time. So please don't bombard me with requests for any particular show. If I have it I will get to it in due time, be patient.
This, the first post, features a rehearsal show and a couple of interviews. Please note that the quality of most of these shows is nothing special. Most of the shows I would rate as fair audience recordings. So this would be more for historical purposes them for your listening pleasure. Either way I would prefer to get this stuff out of the attic and into circulation. Some of these recordings have been booted and my copies may or may not be any better than those. I make no claim to either. But everything I am presenting here comes from a tape source, no boots.

This roio is strange in the way the songs are cut. It has appeared the same way on a couple of boots. Somewhere out there may be a more complete version of this. I say that simply because of the way this tape fades in and out at the crop points. If you run out of tape while recording you end up with abrupt cuts, not smooth fades. There may not be much more on the master tape, but there has to be something more.
