This is a 4 CD set of the one and only Headless Cross gig in Switzerland back in 1989. Why 4 CD´s? Simply because it contains a) a current transfer from the master tape b) a remastered version from the master tape back in the mid-90´s
Unfortunately the master tape suffered damages over the past years, tho it had been stored savely in a box. The damage causes irritating squealing noises mainly in the upper frequencies (sample attached). Thanks to my baking oven and Izoptop RX it was possible to reduce them to a certain extent. While doing this time consuming process, I thought to also reduce the many nasty whistlers and clappers who were nearby while I taped the gig. All this led me to the decision to include a remaster of the 90´s tape transfer, too. You will notice that the upper frequencies are reduced and can´t be recovered anymore.
