Rare Trade

Decent recording but very low bass area. 

"Bit of a strange one this, didn't tape it myself as i knew

the taper from my contacts working in the local record

shop in town"Listen Records".

The gig itself was the Reading Uni Rag Ball and as such there 

was a mixture of your hardcore N.O fans and the Tux & Ballgown 

brigade, i think this is reflected in the gig itself.

I was getting to as many N.O gigs as i could during this period, 

i'd previously seen/taped them at Sheffield Roxy where the crowd was 100%

N.O and the band seemed to recognise this.New Order gigs up

north were generally a better deal, i still hate London gigs

myself, too much posing not enough participation.

The highlight of this performance is it's the first time they played

1963, strangely enough the first time they played Reading University

was also the first time they played an encore (with section 25).

Anyhow, the taper was a guy known as Lazlo

recording equipment unknown

Given to me as a 1st generation tape
