Pro Broadcast quality with minor tape hiss but when the music is going, it’s not a bother. -
Soundboard 9.3 - There are quite a few board tapes from this period, so which ones do you get? After listening to this one, I really think it’s one of the ones to get. Great sound, but a really strong performance (when did they not?) too.

Audience 8.6 - A very early tape featuring the bands original guitarist. For those who have not heard anything like this before, well, it does not sound like the Police as we know them, it’s still good, but different. To my ears, the guitarist does not have the polish we have come to expect from this band, but he’s got quite a lot of spit! -

Audience 8.8 - A very lively atmosphere that, for me, really put me back to the early 1980’s. The recording is pretty good, the band is hot, the crowd is into it.

LA 1977 Soundboard 9.4 - THIS is what PUNK should sound like live…loud, brash, and totally in your face – that is exactly what this board tape delivers and I LOVE IT! Get it and you’ll see why. CBGB’s 1977 Audience 9.2 - A pretty clean recording, which is surprising to me as this is a punk band in a small club at full volume (presumably). So, either taper is affiliated with the club and set up somewhere with some good equipment or it’s a fan who just knew what he was doing and nailed it. I am going with the former.

Audience 8.4 - A loud and raucous tape (and show) that is a rollicking good time despite some minor hiss and lack of precise clarity. It’s not bad though, I mean, it’s a true capture and delivers the vibe and excitement of the evening.

Soundboard 8.8 - Not your typical board tape here, in fact I hesitate to even call it one because to me it sounds like a stage recording. Either way, it is decent but not great. What is great, however, is this period of the band and this performance is indicative of that peak they attained. Marvelous playing throughout – and like I said the sound quality is decent and enjoyable but I expected more from a professional recording.

This is a local product (Houston) and dates from 1998 (with one track from 1995) and perfectly encapsulates the odd effect of the what your perception is of music after the passage of enough time. For instance, I remember this band from the time and considered them just another local "inner loop" grunge band...but hearing this CD they do not categorize so easily there. I find this to be an odd mixture of things that all sort of make me uncomfortable in a creepy way. Some people like that sort of thing though. Anyway, musically it's got some interesting stuff going on and might be worth checking out at this attractive price. CD is SEALED. -
CD issue of 1968 LP of high school kids covering Cream and Hendrix and not doing that bad of a job. CD is SEALED. -
Pro 9.7 - This is a professional recording and I am not sure if it is a board tape but an open mic seems more logical after hearing. It’s great, and the band is a happy, jangly, fun, rollicking, well-oiled machine producing songs that make you want to dance…and then slit your wrists.
