It’s mediocre Monday! I thought this one qualified because the quality is not great at the start of the set, but it improves dramatically. I wonder if this comes from 2 different sources- the 1st part of the set sounds like a rough audience tape, and the 2nd part is clearly a board tape. Great set.

I have been heads-down digitizing all of these new collections and I have not been giving enough time to some of these amazing collections that friends have dropped on me. Here is an example- I pulled this one out of Barry Ward’s pile of cassettes because it looked like it would be amazing.. and it really is if you are a fan of the band. This looks to be 4 track recordings of bass and guitar parts for some of Rock and Roll Nightmare. Really cool.

Here is another amazing artifact from Barry Ward’s cassette collection. This is the earliest RKL show I have ever heard, and apparently it is the earliest show on the internet as well. They talk about their upcoming 7″ release of It’s a Beautiful Feeling!
This one was pretty raw but clean enough for me to remix it a bit. It was light on guitar and very harsh with the high end so I did what I could to fix that up. Thanks Barry!
