Welcome to Volume 4 of an exciting new master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.

Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have not ever circulated directly from the masters.

Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.

Volume 4 captures Bryan Ferry at the Greek Theatre supporting his solo release "Bête Noire".

TapeTyrant was not quite as close as he prefers to be but the Greek Theatre slope was very beneficial to the capture. As with Joe Jackson we had another close screamer, this time a male and as with Joe Jackson he has been completely and seamlessly removed.

We'll let the samples speak for themselves regarding the quality!

Thanks to "goody" for his continued critical work pitch adjusting and tuning our releases.

The biggest thank you to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
