Technical notes:
Master cassette (audience recording) -> CD by Philips CD recorder -> flac

Although I have seen this gig, it's not my recording. It's by a friend of mine,
recorded with a sony stereo tape recorder. The taper had some problems with the
recorder, and from the 3.48 in Slender Threads, the left channel was falling out.
This means, that for the rest of the gig, there's only the right channel. Apart
from this mistake, it's quite a good recording for that time, with very clear
voice.

Historical notes:
It was not, as the poster says, the first solo gig on the European continent, as
PH did an Italian tour in December 1972, supporting Le Orme. But itwas his first
solo gig outside Itly and England.

Time For A Change: This is the first knmown live performance of this song by
Judge Smith, then Chris Smith, as PH announced.

Forsaken Gardens: It's the live world premiere of the song, as PH announced.
