When I first heard a sample of this - a bit of "Time" among other clips, I was very excited.

When it came out I got the Strange Fascination LP set, then the 2CD. I later got the Portrait in Flesh CD version and it seemed no better worse than the Strange Fascination 2CD, I kept the former.

However much as I liked the gig, high quality as it is, it always seemed a bit 'sludgy' in the mix, could do with less bass, and a bit wider stereo image.

So, finally I've done just that, using Audacity. As Ian Hunter said (at the end of All The Young Dudes) "I've wanted to do this for years!" :).

I feel in this form it's clearer, and you can hear the dynamics of the recording more.

I've done nothing else, as I wanted to keep the changes simple, also I felt I'd like to start the ball rolling should anyone want to try anything more complex.
