Recollections:

Band played in the common area of a suite of bedrooms in a dorm at Hampshire College. My friend Andy had a new Walkman and wanted to test it out. First few minutes weren’t recorded because Andy was waiting for the "show" to start. Last few minutes weren’t recorded because tape ran out and Andy was saving the other side of the tape for another band he was seeing later that week! They jammed for another 5 or 10 more minutes after he stopped recording.
I made my copy the next day. I can’t recall the equipment used, but I’m sure it was crappy. Dolby B was also used… This transfer was made on another crappy tape deck with Dolby off as it sounded better that way. Despite all of this and the fact that I could barely get the tape to play, the recording and transfer came out fairly well. I think it is one of the better sounding recordings I’ve heard from this era of Dinosaur Jr. Enjoy.
