source: made from the master cassettes

from "DC" our anonymous donor: Sun Ra and the Arkestra live at DC Space, Washington DC, May 29, 1981, first set, from the master cassettes. The recording was made from the second row of tables, far right, using a Sony TC-150 mono cassette recorder with ALC and conventional bias Maxell cassettes. This transfer was made in 2013 by playing the master tapes on an Akai GX F31 cassette deck into a PC, where the signal was captured via Goldwave. The channel with the strongest signal was copied and the copy was pasted into the opposite channel for true mono sound. A very nice alternate recording, by a different person using a stereo recorder, has previously circulated.
