2nd generation soundboard recording

A very good (close to excellent) quality soundboard recording, sourced from a 2nd generation cassette copy of a soundboard recording.  The vocals are a bit lower in the mix than other New Order mixing desk recordings I have from around this period, and also the mix has what some might call a bass 'hump', but otherwise it sounds great to me.  Note also that, because there was some noticeable hiss on the original tape (unless it was played back with the original Dolby C - which unfortunately would have made it sound unnaturally compressed in the case of this particular brand of cassette), the hiss has been substantially reduced by me using a gradated (i.e. variable) noise reduction in CoolEdit Pro before originally being transferred to CD-R by me many years ago.  No other modifications (other than track splitting) were made to the original sound of the captured tape, either at the time, or later.
