Gong
From Sheffield to Tunisia
City Hall, Sheffield, UK
October 8th 1973
plus
La Basilique
Tabarka Jazz Festival, Tunisia
July 1973
(exact date unknown. Gong played on the 18th, 20th & 21st)
The Sheffield recording is excellent so I only needed to smooth out
a few peaks before normalising the channels individually.
The Tabarka stuff is a vinyl rip and involved much more work.
It is all soundboard sourced but the Tunisian part is lower quality.
You shouldn't need me to tell you how cool it is
that any recording exists of Gong in Tunisia!
I hope I did it justice.
A great listen if you are into 'Flying Teapot' era Daevid Allen.
Tuppence a cup matey...

ReplyDelete+1 re: the artwork titus. fine, fine work and the audio sounds great - even the 'lower quality' which means a notch below pre-FM quality.
ReplyDeletewill enjoy these, thanks as always for all your work!
