OK, it's back to the Isolar Tour (1976) and another Old Gold release, although this was looking very doubtful for quite a while. I traded this title with Cagey, and for some unknown reason all of the disks I've tried to rip from his trades have been particularly troublesome. It took around two and a half hours to rip each of the first tracks - maybe more, because I couldn't just sit there and watch it, but after that all of the other tracks ripped without any trouble. While I didn't see it happen, the EAC text file tells me so, but the first track of each disk had read errors and sync problems as well as several suspicious positions. I've listened to each of these tracks and they sound fine to me, so I'm hoping that some of you fellows here might like them also.

Sound quality is not perfect, but it's better than some of the 1974 torrents I've seeded, and also a bit better than some of the Wembley shows. The first concert has a little low end distortion, and also fluctuates between clear and muffled. I'm betting that the taper couldn't hold the mics up for too long. ;) While they're quite enjoyable to my ears, I'd probably suggest they're probably not something the casual Bowie fan might like, so please check a single file first if you have sound quality doubts.

So without any further ado, set your computer to do it's stuff, and enjoy. :-)
