This one is from Anonymous’ collection, and it was a pretty important tape to me. After he taped the show, he made me a copy and asked me to give the band a try- I had never heard of them. They immediately became one of my favorite bands. My fandom knew no bounds and I was soon in the top 3 CVB collectors in the world (shout out to Carolyn Adams and Craig Hilmer who were the other 2). I was even called “the official CVB archivist” by Jonathan and Victor at a Magnet show at Old Ironsides, years before Tom Scharff became the REAL one.

So, yeah, influential tape. The El Do had great acoustics since everything was carpeted, so it is really clear but very thin. I did my best to get some bass in the mix via EQ and Izotope.
