Notes: A very nice recording of Big Mama Thornton and the Big Mama Thornton Blues Band. Part of a week-long music festival of some sort. Dick Waterman introduced the band. Waterman was deeply involved in the mid-1960's blues "revival" centered in Cambridge, Mass., and was a photographer and promoter of blues musicians. Peter Malick was the guitarist for the James Montgomery Band, playing as a guest. The WBCN announcers were Max(anne Sartori?) and Bob. The recording is solid but suffered from a lot of FM crackle. Most of it has been eliminated using the Izotope de-crackle plugin. In the dead air between songs, you may still hear a little bit, and in other, quieter passages. A couple of larger pops were removed or minimized as well, but you will still find some warts. Enjoy! --mhg :: 2020-10-10

Notes: FM crackle between tracks. The mic is present but thin. The instruments are full and sound good.
