Not to sure on its authenticity as i have never seen a cover for a R&D September 95 but you never know. the last min or so on side 2 is most likely not part of the original recording as its most def a totally different quality/rec level.

Have a listen and see what you think.

Ive been looking at his listings he reckons he got um off some one who did the orig recordings at the events, but Im not sure how true that could be, because they are from all over the place, unless the fella worked at place where the tapes were mass recorded.
I mate of mines mum used to work at a place in Loughborough I think is was, anyway he managed to get all the early dreamscape sets before they went on sale in the record shops, but just the tapes not the art work.

I agree with you guys, i think its just a way of trying to sell off his tapes at a high a price as possible. There not cheap either seeing as they are not original tapes.

Who knows for sure there is deffo a lost of hiss on the recording, but saying that I remember buying orig tapes and the quality was shite, especially those wild west tapes, 3 times I took um back and they were all the same.
I used to buy and swap tape from some guy up north, S&G promotions I think it was called, he would mil us a list out, and each tape had a number like for it, so he new which one you wanted.
Thats who I got my first legends tape off, after hearing the first tape I had to vist it the club lol.
Also what we would do is put gloy glue over the top of stamps, then re use them for return postage if we were swapping tapes, basically the gloy glue rubbed off along with the rubber stamp the post office used to put on which then voids the stamp has used.:p.
