NOTES from the generous donor:

A few months ago when word of this release emerged, I was asked my opinion as to whether it was a new PA tape or just a remaster. It turned out that it is just a remaster (it is an improvement, but how much of an improvement is very subjective...)

Anyway in the course of my investigation I listened to:
- BBC Broadcast (the original vinyl bootleg)
- The Circus is in Town
- the BBC 65 broadcast in the 1965 box set
- At the Beeb
- I also listened to a very old 'non-bootleg' tape I've had for around 20 years.

These are all derived from the same source tape (a mic in front of a TV set).

IMHO the quality of the CDs is pretty straight forward with 'Circus' worst and 'Beeb' best (slightly better than the 1965 box set one).

I prefer the sound of the Vinyl boot, but unfortunately that is accompanied by the inevitable pop & clicks of vinyl boots.

However it turned out that my tape was even better quality than At the Beeb and furthermore did not contain some of the imperfections now present in the sound of 'Beeb'.

I then resolved to master my tape (when I had time) and spread it around. However circumstances have overtaken me with 'At the Beeb' CD being treed. While I have no desire to discourage people signing up for this tree, I am aware that a better source is available and would be preferred to 'Beeb'.
