Notes

A decent sounding audience recording. The right channel has occasional distortion and the recording is hissy overall. There is a tape flip about a minute in to Clean resulting in about 40 seconds of missing music, but otherwise this seems to be a complete recording.

This recording is sourced from bootleg cassettes from the Pud Records label, and in particular these are the "original" tapes which originally sold on an eBay auction for over $400.

Ryan at NINLive had previously shared a one-generation higher cassette copy he purchased from the same eBay seller earlier this year, but a couple of weeks ago, Grace at the Rush Archives reached out with this transfer from the presumed first-generation tapes from the eBay auction.

Compared to Ryan's higher-generation copy, this recording has more clarity and perhaps a bit less distortion.

A recording of the opening act Nitzer Ebb is also on these tapes, and the lower-generation audio will be shared on DIME.

Many thanks to Grace and By-Tor X-1 at the Rush Archives for acquiring, transferring, and sharing these tapes with care and excellent high-end equipment.
