A FRIENDLY WARNING FROM REALMUSICFAN !

This recording boasts truly terrible sound ... and it gets worse as it goes on!

I tried to do something with this, but it's a hopeless case.  The original torrented file was unlistenably trebly ... I have at least boosted the bass so you might be able to listen to a whole song in one go!  I didn't even bother with Solicitor In Studio, though: the sound is all over the place and, fankly, life's too short.

With plenty of cuts at the starts and ends of songs, this is a real trial ... sounds like it was a good show, though!

Hexen... is interrupted in the middle because MES had a spat with an audience member, apparently.  

Please note that Hexen... is split in two on the original torrent file, but I see no reason why, so I've joined the tracks as one.  Conversely, I split Backdrop and Prole Art Threat into two.  I also removed the 60-seconds audience applause track, because by that point I realised I had just wasted about two hours of my life trying to soup this up!

When you're listening to this, just remember: it sounds better now!  And, needless to say, I removed the interminable audience chatter from the beginning of each track and placed it at the end of the preceding track.  Makes sense, really, but for some reason nearly every show shared as a torrent comes complete with loads of unwanted murmuring at the start of each song: in this case, one track had 20 seconds of extraneous noise before the music kicked in! 

And remember: I did it all for YOU, dear friends ... !
