Rainbow Theatre, London, UK
Media cdr   2 discs
Notes A phenominal audience recording for the period; from the second night of the famous "Rainbow" shows, rumoured to have been recorded
by a mate of Woody Woodmansey.

This was recently sent to me on CDR by Bofinken who asked if I could clean it up a bit and torrent it.

To be perfectly honest it was so good I had very little to do. I cleaned off a tiny bit of hiss, removed a few crackles and pops
then balanced the volume between tracks and channels.

There is a cut in "Width of a Circle", the discs had the missing section badly replaced by a section from the officially released
"Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture", this I obviously removed.

In my opinion this is as good if not better than the famous Maloney Boston recording and must rank as one of the best Ziggy audience recordings.

Part of this show has been booted as "Rainbow Theatre" and complete as "Rainbow - The Magic Theatre",

It is certainly an upgrade on both of these.

The recording was also remasterd and torrented a few years back as "Up yours Reg" by Downunder2 (Steve), I haven't heard this
but I'd be suprised if this is any worse.
Trades Allowed Yes
