The master cassette of this gig is missing, believed lost. I got my copy from the taper in 1992, did a couple of copies for friends and acquaintances, and
6 months later found the "Leicester '66" bootleg CD on a London market stall! Several generations of cassette tape copying had obviously compromised the 
quality somewhat, so here's the best sounding version any of us are likely to hear. I have used no noise reduction or EQ, but have rendered the recording 
into mono since the left and right channels of the much-played master were full of dropouts. This is as good as it gets....enjoy! Mick x

NOTES...

The original recording was made on a mono Philips cassette recorder. The taper was seated in the front row of the audience, and the microphone was hand-held
(as is evident at times!)

I have edited out a small portion after the first song, since the taper had inadvertently recorded silence over a small portion of the original recording 
(let's be thankful it wasn't during a song, eh?). This is the only edit I have made.

The speed fluctuations at the end of "Desolation Row" were on the original recording, and are due to a fault on the tape recorder as it neared the end of the 
first side of the original C-60 cassette (not, as the bootleg disc sleevenotes suggest, battery problems). Similarly, the "quiet" section of "Baby Blue" 
is just a long drop-out in both channels (NOT the microphone being covered up!) The tape ran out during "Tom Thumb's Blues"; however, the taper and his 
friend chose to leave the concert during the next song. Apparently it was "painfully loud"...... Dig that distortion!!!!
