John Martyn - 1971-05-09 - London, UK (FM/FLAC)

(FM broadcast FLAC)

John Martyn

1971-05-09 London, England Paris Theatre (M1-FM)

BBC Radio 1 John Peel's "Sunday Show"

"This is a song called 'The Road To Ruin' which was written on a day that I decided there was nothing in the world really worth worrying about anymore. It was a good day."

01. Tree Green

02. Bless The Weather

03. Would You Believe Me?

04. The Road To Ruin

Total Time ::: 21:31

::: Very fine & steady mono radio broadcast, but it ain't super audiophile. Check samples for personal assessment or blissification anticipation.

::: Warts: 1st song at about 1:58 has a brief tape slowdown glitch.

::: Bill was John Martyn & The Groundhogs! Heavenly or what... To have seen the 1971 Groundhogs after this mind-blowing Martyn set.

Recording Information ::: unknown reel-to-reel recorder (miked speakers or line recording?) -> off-air master mono reel-to-reel tape -> 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on.

Playback 2012-05-08 ::: 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & pitch adjusted, heads cleaned & demagnatized -> Tascam CD-RW900SL pro CD recorder -> CD-RW -> computer, EAC secure -> wavs -> Audacity (fades &/or glitches, dropouts, volume adjustments, no EQ) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader's Little Helper -> yer ears. First uploaded week of 2012-05-10.

Line-up ::: John Martyn - acoustic guitar (with effects), vocals.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

CoolSonics 155 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: The first two songs are just plain beautiful, but then "Would You Believe Me?" moves in the farthest reaches of a haunted tremelo trance state and it's likely yer heart will bleed a bit. This enters the zone with memories of the one that ripped you apart & left you with your heart gasping, permanently tranformed. I'd say it is a nearly perfect six minutes of music. No joke. Then it continues right in the same vein with "The Road To Ruin", which will undoubtably have you trying to remember which way up is. Beyond excellent.

Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes&more & Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees

Interesting guest appearance by Dave. I personally have never heard of the guy he is playing with and Dave's guitar does sound a bit odd with this guy's style of music. Sounds great, the entire show was released officially, but this is only the songs Dave plays on. In all honesty while it is an interesting listen, and a nice break from Floyd, it should only be sought after by those who need all of Dave's non-floydian appearances.

Sound: EX+

Overall: 8/10

Total Time ::: 1:23:45 

::: EXC stereo FM. 

::: Warts: Volume levels a bit erratic in #1. #10 has tapeflip splice in middle. Fixed a number of small pops, dullspots & dropouts, but surely missed a few. Last minute of #12 dropped in volume, so is a bit hissy where it was raised. 
::: The other 2 acts on the bill were the Dazz Band & Whitesnake. 
::: The audience is not happy about the billing. Non-stop background chanting for Whitesnake going on between songs. 

Recording Information ::: stereo FM radio broadcast -> unknown stereo recording equipment -> off-air master tape -> 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on. 

Playback 2014-07-14 ::: 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth adjusted for individual recording, heads cleaned & demagnetized -> Sony Linear PCM Recorder PCM-M10 (LPCM 44.10kHz/16bit WAV files) -> computer -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears.

Total Time ::: 1:09:35

::: Warts: Almost none left. Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. #1 starts some seconds late. 
::: Note: Improves with a bit more treble & slight bass reduction, but 'tis easily fixed with knob twiddlin'. 
::: Norwegian NRK FM Radio broadcast, after the fact, in 2 parts (#1-6 pt.1 & #6-11 pt.2). 
::: Live on the "Sapphire" album northern European tour. 
::: #1 mistakenly noted by DJ as a medley, unless a segue from a (missing) song (unlikely). All lyrics present. 
::: Unclear if complete show or possibly missing 2-3 songs. 
::: 1985 was the final year of Club 7, a centre for counterculture in Norway in the 60s&70s according to Wikipedia.

Note:
- The venue and date are according to information I received from the radio station. The broadcast date was 1984-03-11 (11 March 1984).
- There’s a short scratching noise in track 6 at approx. 4:43 min.
- There is a short fade-out after track 7 (The Easy Blues), probably the taper edited some presenter’s comments there. (This is a good point to split the recording if you want to burn this to 2 disks.)
- This is another recording I originally received from Harald B., who seems to have captured many shows from Bavarian radio everybody else has missed! Thanks a lot!
