Found A Job [70:48] Notes and Comments by Mike Martin: What was punk music? That was a question I was asking myself in the mid 1970’s. I heard a live recording of a band called Television from the Whiskey and decided I would go see the next punk band playing and that turned out to be the Talking Heads. Which of course is not really punk music, but I didn't know that then. I was able to borrow the recording equipment but I couldn’t get anyone interested in going with me so I brought a willing first timer to help with the recording (Dan Burdec). Everything was going fine and then the show started and the band wanted to see the audience so the stage lights went dark and the house lights went up. You can hear my helper Dan’s comment to “Get That Freight Train Outta Here”. A “Freight Train” being a stage term for a spotlight. The band smoked from the beginning to the end of the set. My impression was that David Byrne was possessed or crazy. I needed more and I really wished that I had bought tickets for the sold out late show also. The equipment was John Musgrave’s 2 ECM-280 Sony Microphones and the Teac PC-10 cassette deck with Dolby B on a TDK SA C-90 Cassette. Here is the recording transferred to digital format and now ready to share 30+ years later. Master played back on a Nakamichi CR-3A cassette deck with Dolby B. Digitized to 24 bits @ 44.1 KHz Wave files with an Audigy 4 Pro sound card. Some editing was required to piece together a tape flip and a couple of breaks between songs. Editing was also applied to the audience applause sections to remove the loudest clapping. Next the 24 bit files were dithered to 16 bits using audacity wave editor. Tracks were then cut on boundaries with CD Wave. Traders Little Helper converted to Flac (Level 8) and created the ffp and md5 files.
