Fix notes:

2nd April:

It's apparent that there was over-miking of the floor toms (present on both versions I tried) causing bass rumble frequently throughout.
Tape flip between Queen Bitch and Fashion during tape flip.  Faded on tape, repaired as best as I could.
Fade out between Heroes and The Jean Genie which clips the start of the latter.

3rd April:

Significant disparity in volume between the two channels, with the right channel oversaturated.  Used iZotope RX declipper tool to restore peaks on right channel for whole tape - successful

Joins between Panic and Detroit and Suffragette City, and Fame 90 and Heroes resulted in minor loss of music to start of latter song in each case.  Join between Let's Dance and Stay lost crowd noise only.
Join betweeen Ashes To Ashes and John I'm Only Dancing loses David saying the name of JIOD!

Unpleasant blare at the start of Blue Jean which could not be fixed without being intrusive.  The sound is a little rougher from Heroes onwards and that's on the tape.

Volume readjustments to offset original CD transfer (doesn't impact quality, as per first note).

Jump during Fame is on my copy.  The change in sound quality at the starts of Star and Alabama Song reflect tape flips.

Fix notes:

Only issue was on first song, where the sound was massively oversaturated - completely thrashed.
Issue was worse on left channel, so right channel copied over to make it mono.  Ran track through iZotope RX declipper tool to restore peaks, and then matched volume on later part of song to keep it consistent.
It's now listenable, but a distance from perfect.

Recording detail subsequently added by Steveboy after original up:

"It's nice to see my recording of Newport Leisure Centre still doing the rounds, I
think this has been played about with as there is more bass in it, the original
which I uploaded here a few years ago was a bit tinny.

"For the record it was recorded with a Sony portable recorder [WM-D3] can't remember what mic's but they
were external, and was recorded in stereo. I couldn't get the record levels
correct with the pre-show music hence the change in levels on Amazing."
