John Cale 1985-11-01 Vienna (1st gen)

Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got this one as two large WAV files from dime fellow gazatthebop (thanks very much again!). He was unsure if he had the masters or 1st gen tapes. The end of the first side was repeated at the start of the second, so that rules out a master.

The tape was running at the wrong speed, so I spent time fixing that the best I could. There were fluctuations between songs as well as in the songs, so, to my regret, the final result is far from perfect. But then, I feel it sounds much better than the original. I'm attaching three mp3s: two are low-fi (48kbps/22050Hz) complete songs, one with more fluctuations, and the other quite nicer, so that you get a feeling of the trouble with the speed. The third one sounds closer to the FLACs (256kbps/44100Hz), so you can judge the sound quality.

This tape is probably missing the encore. But then, it features a long improvised piece following Streets of Laredo. I'm keeping the title as read at Hans Werksman's site, originally suggested by gaz. Enjoy!
