Subhumans - Live Sheffield Leadmill 17.2.85 (tape)


I've posted this on a torrent site, may as well post it here aswell, heres what i said............

Heres a rarity, i've been told even the guy who taped it, and released it, and Dick from the band dont even have a copy of this...yet
I've left it as is, i dont go in for altering the audio, i'd just fuck it up, there is a clicky noise near the beginning but i think it disappears about 1 minute in or so, its not bad played on the puter but on my hifi it was loud as fuck.
I've ripped it to flac as the original sound qualitys ok but not amazing so wanted to preserve as much of the sound as i could.

This isnt actually a bluurg release either, it was released on a small Sheffield distro called "epileptic chainsaw tapes" and this was the 2nd release (epic 2), the guy who taped / released it was in a band called protest too.

The set is 43minutes and 43 seconds long, this includes some interviewing and crowd noise due to a fight that occurred that night...i left the whole tape as is.

Mel, you are a legend. Thanks so much for this. You're one of the few people on the planet who's actually got this tape, as only a few copies were made and sold before I lost the master. Certainly, this is the first time I've seen anyone on the Internet with a copy. I'm very grateful to have found you. Hope I can repay you some day.

Gave the tape a listen -- it's really unfortunate about the quality which seems to have deteriorated dramatically. The original sounded good, it was a very decent quality bootleg.

dunno, its always sounded like that to me :P
like i mentioned before my copy might actually be a copy of a copy of a copy, and to say its 24 years old and taped from the audience, i still dont think it sounds too bad......listenable

The sound quality improves a little bit after 13 minutes, before that it sounds very dull, kinda like it's playing down the road in someone else's house! LOL.
