Administration & Liners:
Tree administration for this tree was by the infinitely resourceful David Chance! Richard Batey was again the designer of some great jewel-case liners for this show.

Notes on the source:
Bear in mind that this Denmark concert was put onto CD from an original analog tape that is 25 yrs old. It was recorded from the audience, using a "cheap mobile BASF machine with a 'plastic' microphone". Parts of the concert were recorded using a manual recording level, while other parts were recorded using an automatic recording level. As a result, listeners should not expect to hear a soundboard-quality recording such as is heard on radio/TV broadcast material.

However in spite of its "flaws", and considering the age and the equipment used, this show is a fine bit of enjoyment. As one Van-L list member put it: "The very fact of the existence of these CDs and the organising of their distribution is a source of wonder and pleasure to me."

Van Tree Policy:
Please respect the efforts and the wishes of the dedicated bands of volunteers who put countless hours of time and energy into producing and treeing these rare live performances: please do not offer any of these tree volumes for sale.
