Second installment of a new batch of Townes recordings (6) fellow dimer traink gave me. He recorded Townes a couple of times in Germany in the ninetees. A few of these recorings are his own masters, a few are traded copies on DAT.

This project is a true team effort: traink provided the tapes and handed them over a few weeks ago at In The Woods. Not only did he give me these Townes tapes, he also included Eric Taylor and Chris Smither. I brought the tapes to reelclasio, who still has working DAT recorders. Moreover he's one of the better tapers of the Netherlands. He did a 16/48 transfer and sent me the raw files and a quickly edited version. Fredtaper did the final editing. I coordinated the project, split a few files that had more than one song, adapted the setlist, downsampled to 44.1kHz for burning to CD.

The recordings I'll share are either new into circulation or fresh transfers of shows that are circulating, making them an upgrade.

The show shared here is not new into circulation, but it's a direct transfer from the master tape. The version shared on Dime a few times came from traded CD's. One thing puzzles me: the version from the traded CD's has 2 extra tracks at the end. I don't know if that version came from another recording or that they didn't belong here (fillers).

I included covers that were made for the previous version, removing the last 2 tracks. Please note that the disc split on the covers differs from this fresh transfer. This current split is the correct one: 2 sets, 2 discs corrsponding with the sets.

Great sounding soundboard recording with an impressive setlist, holding 9 of my favourite songs that I included in my compilation " My Sorrow", making it one of the best shows from Townes' later period for me.
