notes on the remaster

Hello again! Here is a very special treat courtesy of one of my best friends of the last, oh, 25 years, my pal Irin, a professional soundman in Brooklyn, NY. He was kind enough to send this to me, it was taped directly off the radio (WLIR-FM, Garden City, NY) by him in 1984, and it’s a b-e-a-s-t!

All the bootlegs I have ever run across of this performance are all from multi-gen tapes and sound horrifyingly compressed… the one on the Scorpio label (“Wild Weekend”) suffers from a ridiculous amount of compression and contains practically zero high end, whilst the other one I have (remastered by NoSpEx in 2007, I believe, from another source) is also from a mulit-generated tape and suffers from a pervasive clipping & distortion in the low end due to what he described in the notes I saved from that torrent as a faulty original digital transfer over which he had no control.

So, given that the performance contained herein is such an indisputably ripping scorcher, it seems appropriate to finally get this puppy circulating from a bona fide first-generation source, thanks to Irin. In this remaster I stayed away from EQ and noise reduction and whatnot, especially because of the other versions I mentioned where such things are prevalent to the point of intrusiveness. Bottom line is that this tape has survived the last quarter century in terrific shape and I really felt it didn’t need any artificial enhancements, especially since Irin’s transfer was so well-done & tasty to begin with.

All I changed was a few repairs of the isolated static (not too many, maybe twice in the whole show) and some channel dropouts and whatnot. The tape flip (first few seconds of “Both Ends Burning”) was patched using the aforementioned NoSpEx remaster, which I EQ’d paragraphically to get a closer sonic match with the main source (not easy because they were very different-sounding indeed). Hopefully it isn’t too intrusive, but at any rate it’s just a few seconds so no worries.

Someday, a pre-FM master of this will surface… a while back when whoever it was was torrenting all those WLIR masters I was seriously hoping for this one but I guess he didn’t have it, oh well. Until it surfaces this will probably be the best version out there, so give it a spin and see what you think… it’s a massive upgrade over the other versions, at least, IMO.

OK, enjoy, seed away when you are done, and remember we’re here to groove like we mean it and to share like we’ll die if we don’t.

PS–Irin runs a website-with-accompanying-podcast-of-excellence called Ambient Chaser, check him out at http://www.ambientchaser.com early and often, OK?

Thanks of course go to him for taking the time to record & transfer the tape, to Le Musique Roxy for burning down the Calderone like they did and thanks to you for downloading this most stompin’ show.

Reseed Note:

I like my music tagged so i tagged all the files and therefore had to make a new md5 file.
I also added an ffp file.
Other than that the files are untouched and as they came with the original torrent.

Tagged & re-seeded on DAD by surfling april 2010.

All thanks go to Irin for providing and transfering this incredible tape in the first place
and to emperor nobody for cleaning it up and sharing it here originally!

  19. Cherry Tree (alternate take)

This material is taken from the silver CD “In My Tribe Demos”, pressed by Blast Records
in the mid-1990s.

My favorite song by far is the unreleased original “The Biggest Charm”, which is more of
a traditional rock song that would sound at home on “Secrets of the I Ching” or “The
Wishing Chair”. It clearly didn’t fit the “In My Tribe” vibe, and I assume that it was
discarded for that reason. (It would have made a great b-side, though).

Interesting to note that “Poison in the Well” is still under consideration at this point,
although we know it ultimately remained unreleased until “Blind Man’s Zoo” in 1989.

I’ve read that producer Peter Asher forced the band to use a drum machine on some
songs, and on this set “What’s the Matter Here?” sure sounds drum machine-y to me. On the
second set of “In My Tribe” demos (to be uploaded momentarily), the “what’s the Matter” drums
sound different / live. Feel free to disagree – that’s just my opinion.

For the record, I generally can’t tell the difference between each song and their
“alternate takes”. Don’t expect radical differences from one version to the next, because
they are virtually identical to each other. That being said, the alternate take of “The
Painted Desert” includes vocals right to the end of the song, but on the non-alternate take
(track #9) Natalie doesn’t sing the last couple of words, “…be there.” so, at least in
that one case, there is a difference between the two (albeit a very slight difference).

“In My Tribe” demos (2nd set)
circa 1987 – certainly compiled later than the 1st set (uploaded separately)

Source: SB > ? > CD received in trade > FLAC

Sound quality: A-

Track list:

  1. Peace Train
  2. Gun Shy
  3. A Campfire Song (with early Stipe vocal)
  4. Hey Jack Kerouac
  5. My Sister Rose
  6. The Painted Desert
  7. Cherry Tree
  8. Walden (piano instrumental)
  9. Don’t Talk
  10. What’s the Matter Here?
  11. The Biggest Charm
  12. Verdi Cries
  13. City of Angels
  14. Like the Weather

This is the second set of “In My Tribe” demos, which had clearly been recorded and/or
compiled chronologially later than the first set (uploaded separately).

“Peace Train” makes its first appearance, but it doesn’t sound very much like the
finished version. It’s an interesting curiosity, but I can’t say that it’s particularly
enjoyable.

As mentioned in my previous upload (the first set of “IMT” demos), I’ve read that producer
Peter Asher forced the band to use a drum machine on some songs. Although some of the songs
in the first set (particularly “What’s the Matter Here?”) seemed to use a drum machine,
most of the percussion in this set sounds like Jerry’s live drums.

In the 1st set of “IMT” demos, “A Campfire Song” did not yet have Michael Stipe’s vocal
contribution. However, this version does include his singing, though I’m not certain
that it’s the final Stipe vocal that we actually hear on the final album version.

Interestingly, “Poison in the Well” isn’t included in this set of demos, but it looks like
“The Biggest Charm” was still under consideration. That song was obviously dropped prior
to the album’s completion, never to be officially released.

“Walden” is a pretty piano piece, but nothing of great significance.

There is a jump/skip in the middle of “Gun Shy”. Sorry – it’s on my copy, too.

First Set:

d1t02. Tune in 5
d1t03. Maiysha

Second Set:

Notes:

– bass notes distorted and sound severly overloaded
– stereo recording with strong monaural characteristics
– noticeable hum which seems anti-correlated with keyboard during set 1

– d1t03: 2:05 might be either a very quick transition by the band or a splice/cut in tape; 17:37 tape flip/gap

– d1t05: 12:17 might be a small gap in music or quick transition

– d1t06: 7:01 gap in tape / unknown amount of music missing

– d1t08: fades out, unknown amount of music missing

– the two sources QC’ed for this date originated from the same digital transfer though they have different md5 and related signatures
they differ by the amount of zero padding at the start and at the set break between tracks 4 and 5, so only this source is used.
after adjusting there are then 2 locations (other than gap between sets) where for less than a frame there are minor differences. At these two locations neither recording sounds like it has a blemish.
d1t04: ~ 1:47, d1t08: ~ 5:38
