Comments:

- The taper, John, came over from the USA with a friend specifically to go to the Isle of Wight Festival. I suppose he was always fighting a lossing battle with how much tape he could carry, mostly he just got a few songs from the artists he liked.

In later years when he passed away he left all of his masters to a friend and fellow taper Karl Ryan. Tim met Karl in 1990 and later Tim's cassettes were dubbed from John's masters.


Notes:

Pitch corrected by reference to the official release.
- The tape has degraded over time, particularly during "Pinball Wizzard" > "Fiddle About" There were also numerous small dropouts throughout which I have repaired as best I can.
- Tape pauses have been smoothed out.
- Some background noise as been removed and I carried-out a little eq
- Most tracks are slightly clipped and some are just incomplete.



Many thanks to John for taping, Karl for passing this on to Tim and Tim for letting me borrow his tapes.
