Incomplete audience recording
Lineage: unknown taper and equipment -> unknown generation -> Sony HF90 cassette -> Sony TC-WE805S (no Dolby setting) -> RCA -> ASUS Xonar DX -> Adobe Audition CS6 -> normalized to -1.0dB -> FLAC (24/48) -> FLAC level 8 (16/44) using foobar2000 v1.2.9, FLAC 1.3.0, and Resampler (SoX), best quality -> MP3
Generation: unknown
Transfer: ligushka
A good sounding early recording. This is the second earliest non-fake circulating recording of Depeche Mode (first is 1980-10-30 Bridgehouse). This transfer has better sound than the bootlegs "King Of Strangers" and "A Nice Surprise". It's much clearer, with less distortion and noise. It's still very bass-heavy during some songs, and the bass can be overpowering. Audience noise is still missing between tracks, just as on the bootlegs. "Tora! Tora! Tora!" misses the last few seconds, and several other songs sound like they're missing the first few seconds. Dave forgot a line during "Ice Machine". "New Life" does not fade-in, and "Ice Machine" does not fade out as on the bootleg versions. "Ice Machine" seems to have a skip in it at 3:39; this is a flaw on my tape.
"I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead" is quite different from future live versions. Many other songs also have different drums or synths, so this short recording is worth a listen if you haven't heard it yet.
