This is a tape I got in a trade over 20 years ago. I have no idea of its lineage ? it sounds like it might be 2nd or 3rd gen but I have no way of knowing definitively.

It's not hi-fi ? I've put a sample in comments so you can taste and try first. Looking around the net it seems there may have been some dodgy boot CD versions of this but I can't say whether this is better quality or worse. The gig got a rave review from Charles Shar Murray in NME at the time: ?a beautiful evening of Grade A rock 'n' roll?. The set was short because Gnidrolog and Brindsley Schwarz were also on the bill.

(The King's Cross cinema is now the Scala)

Set list:

White light, white heat
Waiting for the man
Ride into the sun
New age
Walk it and talk it
Sweet Jane
Going down
I can't stand it
Berlin
Cool it down/Wild child
Rock 'n' roll
Heroin
