Dead C. - Perform DR 503b

 


A while back I managed to score a copy of the elusive Flying Nun DR503 vinyl. A nice mint copy too....had to pay through the nose for it but that's how it goes these days if you want to buy a 30+ year old record from the venerated Flying Nun back catalogue. I was lucky enough to be around NZ buying up Flying Nun goodies back in the 80's and 90's so most of them I paid standard retail for and there's not much else I really require from that golden nun period thankfully but on occasion one will crop up that is a necessary addition to the shelf. Gotta have those Nun oddities!

Flying Nun (and spending too much on records) aside, this tape isn't DR503 as such. It's a live document from around that time including much of the material from the said LP plus or minus a few bits. A very different listening experience to the LP structurally & tonally of course but if you understand Dead C speak, you'll dig it. Yet another tape from the James Greig archives. Upload comes with artwork & details of where & when these recordings took place. 

Another Xpressway cassette rarity you need to get you hands on. Ripped at 320kbps and only volume balanced for that natural magnetic tape sound.....
