Welcome to Volume 7 of an exciting master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.

Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.

Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.

Volume 7 features Squeeze captured on their 1982 Farewell tour and the second of two nights at Nassau Coliseum. Originally only scheduled to play on the 24th, a second show was added after the first quickly sold out.

This is the second known recorder for this show, I do not have a copy of Recorder 1 but this one is a strong capture, slightly further back than we have grown use to but absolutely no audience noise whatsoever. It's an excellent listen from start to finish!

Thanks as always to goody for his pitch adjustments that keeps us tuned each and every week!

The biggest thank you to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come we are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
