About 13 months ago, Todd Pritchard and Savannah W came out from upstate New York to vacation in California. Their type of vacation included trips to Gilman, hanging with East Bay Punk luminaries, and heading out to Sacramento for 1 night to stay over at our place, see the sights in Sacramento, and see a show that night.
Todd had about 2 hours to dig through an enormous amount of unlisted tapes- collections from Jason Ross and many others. He pulled out about 15 tapes and for the most part, he picked some good ones- thanks Todd. It would have been years before I got to these otherwise. I’ll be uploading some of these tapes over the next month or so.
Here is the first one- a really nice quality Monsula board tape from early 1989. From the banter, it sounds like it may have been Bill’s first show with the band.
Recorded by: ?
Transfer by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
A tiny bit of Dehiss in Izotope RX7- not enough to make it sound funny, so it still has a little hiss
Hi, the other Paul from Monsula here. This must have been from early 1990, not 1989. I was in the band until late 1989, then Bill joined. They reference him as the “new” bassist at the beginning. Thanks for posting this! Awesome recording. 🙂
thanks for the info. It’s odd that the tape was labeled with the date that an actual Monsula show took place.. but you were in the band AND I know how tape trading was back then…
