Well, you can definitely count me in on this. I've had a (dodgy) copy of
this tape for years and have to say that it contains some of Tim's best ever
work (IMHO). In fact, I *was* just about to transfer this to CDR myself, but
if there's a better quality tape out there.........& I'm happy to help in
any way possible. What were you thinking of - a CDR tree or something more
formalised? Perhaps Keith can advise after is experiences with the Starfield
CDR (which I really, really must buy soon)?

But maybe Voiceprint can be persuaded to give this a full release? Or would
this not cover costs & not involve massive effort? I mean, VP can hardly
reject the idea on the grounds of the (poor) sound quality, given the fact
that they've been happy to put out such nuggets as "Live at Glastonbury
1990" & "Complete 79" in the past, now can they? Just a thought.

Incidentally, I noticed that Tim's "Tide of the Century" hasn't generated
that much discussion on-list. FWIW, I think it's excellent, surprisingly so
after the relative disappointment of "Magick". Highly recommended, anyway.
