Crucifix- De Wielingen, Amsterdam Holland 2/24/84 Audio only SOUNDBOARD xfer from unknown gen audiotape

Here’s another tape from Eric Mcintire’s collection. I thought I had all the Crucifix stuff that was available, but he had about 10 more. It has been fun digitizing all of these.
This one was all bass, drums and vocals. I popped it into Izotope and boosted the hell out of the guitar. The result isn’t perfect, but it is listenable. The mix changes throughout the show. The guitar is still a bit low to start, but toward the end the guitar almost overpowers everything else. I tried to make it “good enough” throughout.

Boost guitar a lot and drums a little in Izotope.

Code of Honor- Starlight Club, Los Angeles Ca 2/19/84 xfer from audio cassette Verbal Abuse Punk

It’s mediocre Monday! Here is a perfect candidate for mediocre Monday- this recording is pretty rare- I had never come across it when I traded in the 80s. The quality is not that bad for an old punk rock audience tape… but someone (possibly the taper) was shutting the deck on and off in between tracks and these old cheap decks would sometimes misalign and give you extreme “wow and flutter”, and that is exactly what happened with this tape. So, you get the majority sounding decent, then 10-15min of awful quality, then back to decent. Truly mediocre! I have tons of stuff like this!!
