Robyn Hitchcock - 1997-05-22 - Magic Stick, Detroit, MI

This one doesn't sound great.  But, it is a really unique show.  The story I remember is that the club somehow accidentally double booked itself.  So, a band called The Rugburns opened for Robyn.  The Rugburns did, essentially, a full show.  Then, Robyn did a full show.  I am a huge Rugburns fan, and tapes of their shows are scarce.  So, even if the quality isn't the best, I am very glad to have this one.

Trade Tape -> Tascam 202mkv cassette player -> Realtek soundcard ->
SoundForge 7.0 -> sampled at 44/16 -> .wav -> TLH -> .flac -> WinRAR -> .rar file -> you

This tape comes to you from the Psychedelic Closet.

When transferring tapes, I always play every inch of tape on both sides.
Nothing but silence at the end is ever edited or altered.

If you want to "remaster" or provide a more detailed set list, please help yourself.

** Taper reports that the Rugburns were heckled by an audience member.
They then proceeded to make up a song about the audience member being a pedophile.
Sadly, no trace of this is found on the tape. It is assumed that it,
like other songs, was not recorded to conserve battery and tape.
