Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Rafters, Manchester 21 July 1977
2nd Gen Aud Recording

Lineage: 2nd Gen Cassette->WAV via Cool Edit Pro->Flac->Dime

This recording comes from the cassette of NME journalist of
the time Paul Morley. He interviewed Elvis at the club before
the (Allso included here - approx 15 mins long) and then
recorded the gig itself. Unfortunately, he was not in
position in time to catch the first song which was 'Welcome
To The Working Week'. There is also some adjustment
made to the position of the mic at the start of the recording
during the beginning of 'Pay It Back' and two very short breaks
during 'Radio Sweetheart' .

Due to the proximity of the mic to the sound system and the
limitations of the recording equipment there is some top end
distortion but not so much as to impinge on what is really a
very listenable rarity. Let's face it, you can't polish a turd!
But, it's better rough around the edges than not to exist at all.

Overall quality is similar to the Hope & Anchor show recorded
a few days after this gig and posted recently by John234. which
is what inspired me to get my arse in gear to up this.

I hope you all enjoy this and if you are sitting on anything else
like this feel inspired to share it.
