Townes van Zandt Club Manufaktur Schondorf, Germany 22nd November 1995 Audience, unknown equipment, unknown gen, could be DAT clone 16bit, 48 kHz transfer by reelclasio: DAT Cassette > Pioneer D-05 > Hucht > Tascam SS-R1 Compact Flash Card > PC > Samplitude 11 for Track splitting Fifth installment of a new batch of Townes recordings (6) fellow dimer traink gave me. He recorded Townes a couple of times in Germany in the ninetees. A few of these recorings are his own masters, a few are traded copies on DAT. This project is a true team effort: traink provided the tapes and handed them over a few weeks ago at In The Woods. Not only did he give me these Townes tapes, he also included Eric Taylor and Chris Smither. I brought the tapes to reelclasio, who still has working DAT recorders. Moreover he's one of the better tapers of the Netherlands. He did a 16/48 transfer and sent me the raw files and a quickly edited version. Fredtaper did the final editing. He balanced the left and right channels and did a slight bass reduction to minimize the low end rumble noise from the room. I coordinated the project, split a few files that had more than one song, adapted the setlist, downsampled to 44.1kHz for burning to CD. The recordings I'll share are either new into circulation or fresh transfers of shows that are circulating, making them an upgrade. This show is circulating amongst collectors, but it's not spread widely and it's new on Dime. Good quality and for those who do have this show it's an upgrade after the work reelcalsio and fredtaper did. 1. (cuts in) Loretta * 2. Dollar Bill Blues 3.

Fred didn't delete them, because by doing so the resulting music wouldn't match up so the discontinuity sounded bad. He decided to just leave in the dropouts.
