Total Time ::: 1:13:30

::: QUITE fine AUD for it's vintage. Check samples for toenail curling potential or a few beautiful, blissful bytes.
::: Warts: Taper shut off deck 'tween some trax. Mike bump still audible in #1 at end. Taper volume adjustments -mostly fixed- calm down after 1st 2 trax. Fixed dropouts & tape stretch jittery noises at end of #4 but ~2 seconds remain. 1 second bass/volume overload distortion in #5 & #10. #6 has a few split second (glass?) bumps (now reduced). #7 second late start & slight speed fluctuation in last minute (batteries?). #8 has some tapebleed overlay (on all circulating copies) & cuts right at end. #9 starts late from tapeflip. Surely missed some dullspots & dropouts but healed/lessened most all of them. Don't let the warts scare you off - except for parts of #8 this is a real nice listen!
::: COMPARISON CLAUSE: Significant upgrade over these versions, Silver Horse, ECDR'Noiseless Lyceum', PHR, my old cassette, unknown trade CDR, 1or2 others the reel was compared to.
::: NOTE: NOT a raw tape transfer but carefully remastered (~15 hours work) without EQ, fixing 100s of blemishes, volume issues, etc. (notes below).
::: Brett Marvin & The Thunderbolts opened (info courtesy of DIMER gv0000).
::: The Lyceum Theatre was known as the Lyceum Ballroom during this era (from 1951 until... ?).
::: Too bad "Little Wing" is somewhat screwed up here as it's the first live one around after Hendrix's death on 1970-09-18.

Recording Information ::: unknown mono recording equipment -> master mono tape (reel?) -> ? (analog only) -> low generation reel.

Playback (20??) ::: low generation reel -> unknown digital transfer method -> 44.1kHz wavs.

Remastering 2014-03-xx ::: 44.1kHz wavs -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, further speed fix entire recording averaged at -1% single pass after spectral analysis & with pitchpipe verification, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2014-03-07.
