Notes: promoting their 2nd album "meat is murder" TA master/archive series volume 96 I hope that everyone has enjoyed my "TA archive series" as much as I enjoyed reading the comments. This year marks my 35th year for taping, trading and collecting live concerts. The last 6 shows (#95-#100) in the TA Series should be considered my "reserve tapes" featuring rare, sometimes uncirculated captures of my favorite bands. These last shows mark the end to my series. While these wont be the last postings of mine, it is now time to sit back and watch what other treasures from my favorite bands get posted. Consider my efforts in the "TA series" to be my "shaking of the trees" in the hopes that other collectors come out of the woodwork. Things have changed over the years from snail mail analog trades through Goldmine, to $30 "live CD's", to the click of a mouse to download a show that was captured less than 24 hours prior. For many years I have been an unapologetic tape hoarder. This may sound foreign to the youngsters and noobs on here, but there was a time when concerts were traded minute for minute and not shared freely unless you were "in" with the "clique" with like rarities. Sometimes these trades would take months and therefore a long wait to hear a recently played show. Over the last few years I have had a change of heart by seeing many old school tapers dig into their boxes of crispy uncirculated D6 masters and unselfishly offer up new "Master series" with many bands that I collect. Thank you for those that take the time to crawl into your attic to find your old analogs, adjust your azimuth and transfer, track etc. If you have enjoyed my series and have tapes in your parents basement please consider reaching out to those on here who have the tools to proper preserve these treasures before it is too late. If an analog tape was not traded multiple times, there is a chance that it might not ever get digitized and therefore cease to exist among collectors. Here we have an excellent uncirculated Master tape of the entire Oakland Smiths concert during the "Meat is Murder" tour - their first in the U.S. A lower quality and incomplete alternate version circulates among collectors. A few years ago I corresponded with a Smiths fan in Texas who "knew of a guy" in Dallas, TX that recorded The Smiths September 6th 1986 show at the Bronco Bowl. Supposedly this "guy" also recorded many bands from the 80's in Texas but I was told "I'd never get them" because he did not believe in "ripping off the artists" and refused to let people have them - let alone hear them. If you know who this taper is and can help preserve his recordings it would be appreciated. Although I have a very extensive and complete live Smiths collection, I am always looking for upgrades and uncirculated masters as well as Morrissey shows from 1991-1992.
