Comments:
Almost the complete set from Pier 84, NYC, 10-Aug-83. This was originally
released with the first 2 songs badly mismastered. The rest of both discs
was fine, pretty standard bootleg quality. Shortly afterwards the
bootlegger released a 7" with corrected versions of the tracks. It was
supposed to be given away free to people who had already bought the album.
(Honour among thieves!) The single came in a plain white sleeve with
record labels that were different to the album labels, but in the same
style: a comic-book-like picture of a man in a fedora reading a newspaper,
orange on one side and white on the other (no type).
Quality:
ECIS reports that copy quality of this audience recording varies
from very good mono to poor. The fine playing from EC+A & the TKO
Horns makes up for the shartfall in quality. The version of
"Tears Before Bedtime" with the Horns is probably quite unusual.
This has such bad sound quality that I didn't even bother to tape
it! - Melinda Hale {xmelinda@iglou.com} (Maybe Melinda had a
mismastered copy!)
