| At last...hot off the press....err...well
actually 30 years after it was originally recorded.... here is the
Sassafras Christmas concert from 23rd December 1974! I've split them
up into individual files which are reasonably sized - most are 1-2mb, but
you will probably want broadband to download them. And we used to think
broadband was Demis Roussos's backing singers....
You need to be a diehard fan to listen to these - they're mono, old and recorded using Tats' tried and tested Statue of Liberty technique (standing all night with the microphone from his tiny portable cassette player held high in the air!). It was worth waiting 30 years to now have the technology to increase the volume and get rid of some of the hiss and scratches... For you real fans listen to Terry Bennett drawing the raffle numbers...and ignore everyone shouting for Electric Chair at the end of every song....it was something you had to get used to at a Sassafras gig!!
