Notes: John Mayall 1976-10-03 Old Roslyn, New York My Father's Place (M1-FM) ~*~ Remastered without EQ ~*~ 01. --band intros by Mayall-- 02. 1974 Gasoline Blues 03. Play The Harp 04. The Boy Most Likely To Succeed 05. Room To Move 06. Have You Ever Loved A Woman Total Time ::: 37:20 ::: Quite fine FM stereo with occasional issues. Check samples for do's or don'ts or to sink teeth into bytes. ::: Warts: #1 (band intros!) has bad reception noise. #4,5&6 all have several tiny split second edits & asst. intermittant reception issues. 2nd 1/2 of #4 til beginning of #5 has occasional lite popping & ~30 secs of more noticeable problems - nothing too bad & mostly leveled out while mastering. ::: Taper didn't label date, only artist/location. Correct date info courtesy of an astoundingly informative source, DIMER gv0000. ::: Perhaps broadcast 1976-10-05. WLIR shows were either live or pre-recorded & usually broadcast on their Tuesday Night concert series. Recording Information ::: WLIR-FM stereo broadcast -> unknown equipment/stereo reel-to-reel recorder -> off-air master reel -> 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on. (Note: I am not 100% sure the master was a reel, but that's what I seem to remember, if not, then master cassette). Playback 2013-12-26 ::: 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & speed adjusted (pitched!) for individual recording, heads cleaned & demagnetized -> Sony Linear PCM Recorder PCM-M10 (LPCM 44.10kHz/16bit WAV files) -> computer -> Audacity (normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch / dropout / bump / pop / click / dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, NO equalisation) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2014-02-08. Line-up ::: John Mayall - electric guitar, harmonica, vocals, piano(?) // Gary Rowles - electric guitar // Larry Taylor - fretless electric bass // Jay Spell - piano, Minimoog synthesizer // Red Holloway - tenor saxophone // Frank Wilson - drums // Warren Bryant - percussion, congas, and. // Patty Smith & Pepper Watkins - background vocals. Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline. DimeTravel 005 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! Mega thanks to DIMER gv0000 for providing the date info on this (and many other recordings)! ::: Corrections welcome ::: For mental date calculations, for those who need it... Mayall albums: "New Year, New Band, New Company" released '75, "Notice To Appear" released '76 according to the LPs but One Way CD apparently claims released '75. "Banquet In Blues" recorded in May '76 & "Lots Of People" recorded Nov '76 but released '77. Far be it for me to judge, but I found this a much more interesting listen musically than the Bottom Line gig from the night before. While this may not be many folks fave cup o' Mayall tea, it do have its moments & likely a number of you will swing this way. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.
