This is a fresh transfer of nipote’s tape which he has previously shared with the collecting community. There was originally a part two to the recording but unfortunately it has been lost.

Recorder 1 has been circulating for decades, so when this new recording turned up a couple of months ago it came as a complete and very welcome surprise. Sadly the sound quality never rises above average but I have been able to inject a little more life, reduced hiss and stability into it by playing it back on the Technics. This may not be immediately apparent on a head-to-head because I transferred the tape at a lower level than nipote.

Side A ends with the opening to AHM. The recording was then re-wound a little on Side B and AHM re-started, so the song was complete. I noticed that the two versions have a slightly different sound quality, so given the historical importance of this tape, decided to retain both.
