-Disappointed: splice

Welcome to Volume 122 of our 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 1980s and much of the 1990s 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. Some shows may circulate from lower-generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.

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

Volume 122 is a second excellent capture of Public Image Ltd at the Universal Amphitheatre, this time out supporting the 1989 release "9".

I believe this is recorder 2 for this performance.

Thanks to Goody for continuing to support all our releases, working his pitch magic again and again as well as doing double duty with setlist assistance on our more challenging shows.

Ongoing thanks to "Tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these historic shows, and for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades. We are indebted to his generosity (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).

Artwork is included.
