Description
This one has never been uploaded anywhere before because I had so much work to do on it. The problem was that the mic picked up a lot of talking, and I am presuming much of it was gear related, so at some point 35 years ago I recorded over those parts with music (in case my parents heard). I had to listen to the lot and then cut the music parts out to try and get some semblance of a decent recording. Actually some of the talking is quite funny, I can hear myself, Karen Chilton, Tom Brosnan, and other people are mentioned so us Wombournites were out in force that night. What I like about this tape is that we were almost first in, so the atmosphere, quiet at first, just builds and builds until the place is rocking. The tape speeds up towards the end when the batteries are going, but listen to the reaction when “Send Him Back” starts, right at the end, it sounds like mass hysteria breaking out! DJ throughout is Russ Winstanley.
