How wonderful to have a recording released where you were there. That must be really special. It’s very expensive to buy but I’ll very likely get it tomorrow. Keith Jarrett’s solo shows are really something.

Recommended to me by our good friend Max, in very high rotation here.

Kev you’re so retro, cassettes haven’t seen one of those for years. All I can remember is tape hiss and a pen trying to spool them back together. They were simpler times :grin:

@Pete_the_painter - I love tapes, I use my Nak Dragon at least once a week. Tape hiss is surprisingly low, even on crappy £2 Camden Market live bootlegs from the 1980s. I don’t mind hiss at all to be honest. And cassettes should last a lifetime if well looked after (I have some that are almost 40 years old and they still work fine).

My last was an upmarket NAD deck, I dreamed of owning a Nakamichi deck. They still fetch good money online these days.

More tape magic. Graham “Jilted John” Fellowes’ greatest comic creation, the delightfully useless would-be pop star, John Shuttleworth :rofl:
