Earlier this year we kicked off a series of releases from a long time West Coast taper/collector that recently passed away. He transferred his extensive archives to CDR years prior to his passing and then passed it to a close friend. His friend has been involved in the Bay area music scene for the last five plus decades and understands the importance of getting these historic shows out to the collector's community. We are working closely reviewing the shows and researching current circulation as well as possible upgrades.
This one has circulated for a while and though I would not consider this a dramatic upgrade it does remove a couple of generations from the 3rd generation copy that currently circulates. I do consider it a slight quality upgrade as well, it has strong highs and lows, with a wide frequency range, the mix is very balanced with an open and airy high end. The few vocals there are are less buried and more up front.
The performance is exceptional being the last show before the legendary 1973 shows in Japan.
There are a number of folks we are indebted to for access to this exciting new archives, the anonymous West Coast collector, may he rest in peace, his friend that had the motivation and understands the need to get these historically important shows into circulation before they were lost forever and a huge thanks to dime member 'davmar77'. He did not currently have the bandwidth to facilitate such an undertaking at this time and put us in touch...this is how dime should work.
Also, a big thanks to Goody, our pitch master, for his continued to support of our historic releases.
Over the past year or so, we've unfortunately had a a number of long time tapers/collectors pass on leaving this mortal coil, fortunately many had the foresight to secure at least a portion of their archives with other friends/collectors or myself so they could be properly released and enjoyed by generations to come.
Don't wait until it's too late to get those archives out into circulation, please get in touch, there are plenty of us here that can help get those out...no tape left behind!
