Tech Notes Sonic Youth - 1988 10 17 Astoria, London Sony WM-D3 2nd gen

Surprisingly good capture for the time period. Some gen hiss, but sounds really good. Lots of goof-ball comments by Thurston before songs. I have a 2nd tape of this show that has a lot of problems, I will compare and see if it is worth to clean-up, or not.

Trying out a new deck, Tascam 202MKVII with a built in USB out. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but I have tried a couple of used decks and was unhappy, so I thought I'd try a new deck (which are really rare).
