FM Source @flac
Recording from German radio broadcast station SWF3 from the 2nd SWF3 Festival on 24.01.1981.
Rec. Info:
Master cassette -> transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC -> DIME no EQ was done.
Cut after track 2, track 3 fades in. Track 9 fades out in the middle and fades in again. Short cut before end of track 10 due to tape flip.
Track 14 fades out and in again before end of track. There is some minor background noise obviously from the broadcast.
Nice document of the band in a great sound. Bob Geldof is talking a lot between the songs and the audience seems to enjoy the show.

01 - Mood Mambo
02 - Straight Up
03 - I Never Loved Eva Braun (fades in)
04 - Me And Howard Hughes
05 - This Is My Room
