Memories and notes
This is the only unofficial Cardiacs concert recording from 1990 currently represented in the archive.
The original transfer is harsh, heavily peaked and runs at the wrong speed. Adrian, also known as snowgirl' and papus.adrianus, produced a shorter remaster by correcting the speed and combining the mono channels for a fuller sound. The remaster remains rough but is considerably easier to hear than the original version.
Both versions preserve the same fourteen songs, including Bic's Bit, The Leader of the Starry Skies and Plane Plane Against the Grain.
