Todays Reggae/World Playlist

Burning Spear 8-18-96, Galaxy Theatre, Santa Ana, Ca. Radio Shack #33-3007>line in Sony TCD-D7 portable DAT(taped from front row center dinner table, mics in cat-in-the-hat). Out of 600+ recordings, this is top 3. I like this better than all my Schoeps CMXY-4V (my avatar, a 5k+ mic) recordings. Hell yeah I want some more reggae!!! 2 of my top 3 recordings were made with rat shacks (Ben Harper 5-17-97 UCSB football stadium, front row center).
 
Recently discovered this old gem...it's chock full of familiar tunes too...

Another oldie....from 1968...The Equals "Baby, Come Back", which charted the Top 40 and features Police On My Back, later covered by the Clash.
The star of The Equals was Eddie Grant, who also later had a huge hit with Electric Avenue.

technical notes / edit history for shankar2006-04-28 escondido, ca:

Something malfunctioned during the second set of the concert. The recording has odd spikes in the right channel for the first several seconds of Ravi's set, and in the last several seconds of his set (set two, disc 2.2).
At any rate, I cut and pasted the good channel in place of the bad channel in those last final seconds of the performance, as it was quite scratchy sounding at that point. The issue was left untouched at the start of the set, as it was quite brief, and temporary. So, there is a slightly different sound for the last several seconds of the finale of the show. Not bad, just slightly different, and monaural for those few seconds.

Applause reduced by 2dB, in post. The limiter was engaged during the mastering effort. So, the audience applause was already truncated before the gain attenuation was applied.
Overall, a musical gain of 3db, applied in post.
Ravi Shankar introductions and comments, gain +3dB, in post.
HPF, in post, of 9dB @ 50hz to remove ambient room noise from the ac system, and temporary construction generators outside of venue.
 
I don't know how I missed this for 40 years and I don't know if it belongs in a World/Reggae thread but I do know that I have been digging it since it was recommended to me on the Facebook (of all places)

I played this for a friend the other day. We were both big music folks during the 70's and he was stunned when I told him the LP was from '72, but that I had just heard it a couple of years back.

Perfect music for sitting around on a summer's evening.

Highly recommended.
