Re-mastered from a 1st Generation recording, this Free Trade Hall, Manchester recording from 22nd June 69, was a mess! However as it's in Mono it was easier to repair drop-outs where one channel is OK and the other is damaged. There are countless gaps and drop-outs plus sudden endings. All sudden endings have been replaced with a 5-second fadeout, and after removing gaps and repairing dropouts, it now sounds more of a pleasure to listen to.

The quality is also very clear in parts, but distorted in others, but overall it's very pleasing. This newly re-mastered version is now a significant improvement over the original version. I was assured that this version did in fact sound better than the so called "Master" version.
