JEMS REMASTER NOTES:
As a Roxy fan of both their early and later days, Wilky_Way's post a few months ago of this heretofore uncirculated soundboard from the last night of the Flesh & Blood tour was a real treat. The recording sounded very good as is, but there was something about the sound that led me to wonder if azimuth-adujusted playback on my Nak might yield more from the original cassette. I wrote Wilky_Way who was kind enough to send me his source tape (a TDK AD-90). I did a fresh transfer last month and there's a marked improvement in the high-end, imaging and overall punch. I did a tiny bit of work with the finalizer to raise levels and apply just a touch of mastering. A-B comparison MP3s are included.
ORIGINAL NOTES:
Splitting the set after Dance Away gives a good balance of songs on each disc, but it's up to you if you prefer to fill up one disc and put the remaining tracks on disc two.
