Welcome to Volume 72 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.
Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.
Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with mainly NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.
Volume 72 of our series features an alternate capture of the first of two nights capturing a stripped down show of David Bowie's stop at Madison Square Garden on his 1987 "Glass Spider" tour.
Quality is what we've come to expect from a TapeTyrant Master, excellent. There are a couple of cuts that have been patched. The plan was to use patches from the circulating version that I remastered to match closely to this capture but the version I have appears borderline lossy. So I pivoted to an uncirculated Recorder 3 Two Of Us master for the patches. It's slightly further back but the sound stage after remastering is close enough it is not jolting when it switches.
Thanks to Goody for always being available for invaluable pitch guidance.
Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these historic shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
