A previous copy of this show was digitized and transferred to CDR (and DAT for that matter)
in 2004 by me from my Moose Track master cassette. I had forgotten that I had done a good
bit of editing of the source material to make it fit on a single CD. This version brings a
fresh transfer from the master which fortunately hasn't deteriorated; it's a really old
cassette. So here it is folks for the first time in its entirety from the Moose Track
master. The EXTENDED 2 CD version! Enjoy!
The story of the Moose Track collection...
In the late 80's, a buddy of mine in Pennsylvania told me during my visit to the East coast
about a tiny independent record store in Port Jervis, NY called Moose Track Records. He
thought I be interested in a box of live tapes he saw for sale in there. I went over almost
immediately and, sure enough, there it was, a box of 72 cassettes. Some without labels.
Some were generic white cassettes with a white cardboard insert. Most were TDK normal bias.
Some were from the Sixties, most from the Seventies. Some were from BBC, most were audience
recordings from the NY/East Coast area. I bought them all at 50 cents a tape. Bands I knew:
Devo, NY Dolls, Capt. Beefheart, Runaways, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, Led Zeppelin, Graham
Parker, Rockpile, Damned. Bands I didn't know: Ducks Deluxe, Eddie And The Hotrods, Frankie
Miller. Some cool oddballs: Johnny Rotten DJ-ing at the BBC, Monty Python in a radio
appearance, a 10 minute radio clip devoted to the death of Paul McCartney, lol.
I've digitized them all with no EQ. All are a bit hissy, some have drop outs, the listening
quality varies wildly and I'll do my best to describe them and post samples.
A lot of these shows have surfaced in better quality over the years so feel free to ask
about anything I've mentioned, you might already have it. I intend to make a full list to
publish in the texts of all relevant uploads in the future. - hitwitstuff2
Continuing lineage: FLAC fileset DL > WAV > WaveLab 6 (DC offset correction, the edits for
the tape flip were remedied, and adjusted some dynamics in a few spots while utilizing peak
mastering control along with new tracking points set throughout, finally, no Normalizing
was done on this remaster) > FLAC (level 8, align on sector boundaries, fileset titles
named using standard archiving nomenclature and are fully tagged)
Setlist:
01. Baby Please Set A Date
02. New Hawaiian Boogie
03. Barbeque Blues
04. Move It On Over
05. Cocaine Blues
06. banter
07. Wanted Man
08. A Picture From Life's Other Side

Cassette tape flip evident after track 09, and the beginning of track 10, is slightly cut.
And, the disc split is recommended after track 09 of this recording with the file names
referencing that as well as the tagging. This fileset seems to be the complete show as it
was broadcasted that November night.
