Torrent: 401503 Title: Soft Boys 1980-06-05 Cambridge, UK Great Northern Hotel (2nd or 3rd gen serviceable lo-fi AUD for collectors of important historical artifacts) CoolSonics Size: 347.07 MB Category: Psychedelic Uploaded by: kneesfudd Info hash: 7573d5d0f8e25cde190047db12eac3ed16ed20fa Description - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soft Boys 1980-06-05 Cambridge, United Kingdom Great Northern Hotel (M2or3-AUD) "Dedicated to the cruise missile guys!"..."Seems like the crab's been around..." Set One ::: 01. Train Round The Bend 02. Positive Vibrations 03. Queen Of Eyes 04. Kingdom Of Love 05. Strange 06. "Apples & Oranges" (few second tease only) + Robyn doom & gloom prognosis Set Two (or post string-change new attack) ::: 07. I Wanna Destroy You -> 08. Bells Of Rhymney 09. I'm An Old Pervert 10. "Gigolo Aunt" (FRAGMENT ONLY - 6 seconds & cuts) 11. Only The Stones Remain 12. Human Music 13. There's Nobody Like You 14. Insanely Jealous Encore: 15. Astronomy Domine 16. Underwater Moonlight (with extended Robyn Crab Rap) Total Time ::: 56:46 ::: Somewhat muffled & distorted but serviceable lo-fi audience recording & historically quite important. Check samples for attraction assessment or to see how high your fish might jump or how hard your crabs may bite. ::: Warts: Yes. Distortion, etc. See other notes. The most egregious dropouts (that I found) were fixed. Bit difficult to differentiate between bass distortion & dropouts at times, so didn't get them all. ::: Gigolo Aunt would seem to have cut due to a tape flip, nothing malicious... Recording Information ::: unknown equipment -> master mono (or too narrow to tell stereo) audience tape -> 1 or 2 generations -> 2nd or 3rd generation Maxell MXS-90 cassette, Dolby B on. Playback 2011-07-09 ::: 2nd or 3rd generation Maxell MXS-90 cassette on Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & pitch adjusted, heads cleaned & demagnatized -> Tascam CD-RW900SL pro CD recorder -> CD-RW -> computer, EAC secure -> wavs -> Audacity (fades &/or glitches, dropouts, volume adjustments, no EQ) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader's Little Helper -> yer ears. First uploaded week of 2012-04-14. Line-up ::: Robyn Hitchcock - guitar, vocals // Kimberley Rew - guitar, vocals // Matthew Seligman - bass // Morris Windsor - drums. Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline. CoolSonics 145 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! ::: Corrections welcome ::: This one has some problems. Seems like microphone placement was an issue & the taper may have overloaded the record volume, but clear also that the band was also playing on the loud side of life in a rather small spot. The bass sounds like it was very likely distorted at the gig. However, this is a gem from around the time of the "Underwater Moonlight" release & thanks to the taper for doing the mighty deed. It would appear this has been around, but 30 years of waiting for an upgrade is long enough, so have at until someone feeds a better copy. Energetic! Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes&more & Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.
