Recorded from a 1/2 track, 7 ½ ips 10” pre FM reel to reel > Akaii GXC-570 D2 Cassette (w/ Dolby B).
It is extreamly low levels for the majority of the show but gets real loud in places.
From these low recording levels some hiss and rumble crept in.

Transfer of 1st generation cassette:
Nakamichi CR-3A w/ Dolby > Audigy 4 Pro @ 24/44.1 > minor editing with Nero >
converted to 16 bits w/ Audacity > Tracked w/ CD Wav > Flac (Level 8)

No noise reduction (other than Dolby B) or equilization.
The back cover art has the wrong track times for my recording but looked nice so I used it anyhow.

I had this one many years ago, with a decent sound but not "pre-FM". This one is a huge upgrade.
OK, there is some hiss...

I don't agree about the sound being very low for the majority of the show. It's low on the quieter moments only (there are no more than 3 or 4 in the piece), but the majority of the recording is loud, and fortunately not compressed.

And I'd like to correct a repeated mistake in the line up, that you can find on every boots of this concert : Jeff Leigh, or John Leig is in fact GEOFF LEIGH (from Henry Cow).
