notes:

- the start of Mama Tried is clipped due to a tape flip
- Bertha has a very small cut at 1:37
- tape flip near end of Drums
- US Blues had a right channel dropout between 0:21- 0:43 and several smaller
  ones shortly after. I copied the left channel in
- crossfades put in where the tape had been paused and on tape flips  
- the bottom end was very heavy, iZotope Ozone and 4Front Sand Brush used to eq
- light noise reduction has been applied
- seamless join between discs 2 and 3

comments:

Many thanks to Simon Phillips for lending me his tapes

Unfortunately the sound on this recording makes the theatre sound as if it was a huge place but it wasn't like that at all.  It was a wonderful venue to go and see a show.  This photograph, http://picturepalace.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/images/fp_foy.jpg, dates back to 1969.  I remember well the fountain in the foyer.

The theatre has long since been abandoned as a music venue and is now, I believe, owned by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God.
