Notes:
A nice late 1982 show which has "Driven To Tears." Quality is somewhat
similar to the mono US Fest 9/3/82 source. Sound is clear as if the taper
was near a speaker. The tape sounds like it's low generation. Lacks a little
in bass but it has bright highs. Tape ran a little fast and was speed
corrected right on the tape deck. Editing was minimal, only to make splices
and to amplify the channels just a little bit more than recorded on the
burner, to make them as high as possible w/o clipping. There are a couple of
small cuts but overall this is a very enjoyable, nice show that most Police
collectors should find a worthy listen.

Sting skips the second "Some may say, tomorrow's another day" in Walking On
The Moon, and I kind of think it's by accident as Stewart drums the exact
same way he does going into the first instance of that, and then changes to
a different beat when they don't go into it again. Also before "Don't Stand
So Close To Me" Sting has to keep the crowd in check, telling them to stay
where they are and not go beyond a fence.

FLAC Fingerprint file is included for easy checking with Trader's Little
Helper. Shntool results also included in each folder.
