Townes van Zandt Rote Fabrik Zurich, Switzerland 3rd June 1993 " Love Is My Only Crime" tour with Alex Chilton, Country rockers, Lorette Velvette, Alluring Strange. The tape only contains Townes' set. The last song is cut. Third 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. I coordinated the project, split a file 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.
