The Smiths - Troy Tate Sessions 1983
Elephant Studios, Wapping, London, UK
Recorded Summer 1983

Soundboard (Vinyl) Recording
Encoded: 320 Kbps MP3

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1990 bootleg Trash Records TR7) featuring the ‘TATE1′ set of
recordings, the first batch of the Troy Tate recording sessions to be released on bootleg (and this LP was the source of the plethora of bootleg CDs that came out in the ’90s, mostly with disappointing sound quality as a result of a poor vinyl transfer).

The recording on the LP is very trebly and I was tempted to boost the bass in the mix, but in the end I was able to resist the temptation. Feel free to adjust the EQ settings on your favourite playback device to your personal preference.
