Notes:
There is audible tape hiss on this (the levels on the tape were low from memory), but apart from that it's a pretty decent recording. Hopefully you'll agree it's worth sharing. I promised I would put this up a while ago - sorry for the delay.

Explanation for estimated gen of tape:
I went to this gig and when I found the tape in a box a few years ago thought it must be my master, as I was still actively taping and it had my handwriting on it. Having listened to it I realise it isn't one of mine.

I lived in Birmingham at the time of this gig (although I worked in Leicester) and shared a house with 3 people at the University. I must have got this tape shortly after the gig and I assume one of the lads in the house got it from one of the tapers who used to 'deal' in live tapes at the time and I copied it from him. I can't think how else I would have got this, as I moved to Leicester shortly after and stopped taping/going to gigs/trading for about 15 years.

Sorry I can't be more precise about the lineage - perhaps someone else has a better/known lineage version which this will bring out.

Tracklist is my best attempt based on that provided for the Leicester recording I posted a while ago.
