Comments

I've had tapes of the original BBC broadcast of the festival, 

which aired on Tommy Vance's "Friday Rock Show", 

ever since it aired back in 1985. 
However, this is the first time I've mastered most of them for CD. 
Technically: All I've done to remove the tape hiss and correct the balance
