Geetarz Comments:

The definitive version of the incredible Leeds 1978 performance, remastered by 3BR.

Volume fluctuations are fixed, and the whole show much sweeter.

Lineage: Original 3BR CD-R (directly from Igor and The Professor) > LiteOn iHAP 322 > EAC v. 0.99 Prebeta 4 (Secure Mode, Offset Correct @ +6, 0, 24 bytes) > FLAC (Level 8) > You !

This is an essential recording for any Dire Straits fan, a nice soundboard of the early stuff, recorded at the end of a tour as support for the Talking Heads, and just days before they went into the studio to record their first album.

Major bonus points are awarded for those who correctly spot the title reference – no hints will be given!

Artwork, checksums (ffp, MD5, ST5), EAC extraction logs, and info file included. A whole-torrent MD5 is also provided.

As always, play it loud, and enjoy!
