It's been a while since we've had a DS Archives release and we are pleased to return with a significant upgrade to Recorder 1 for the impressive August 25, 1984 show in Largo, MD.

My friend, buckshot, reached out with a list of shows that hadn't been upgraded since being originally released which motivated me to dig into the archives, this upgrade goes out to him.

The August 25th show currently has 2 recorders circulating, this release upgrades Recorder 1 that was originally sourced from a CDR trade copy of unknown generation.

This comes from the DS Archives and is very low generation, it's possibly 1st generation but memories have faded after 40 years. It is a substantial upgrade to the circulating Recorder 1. Recorder 2 was released as Volume 79 of the outstanding Tape Man Joe Master series but unfortunately it was not one of the stronger series entries.

Thanks to Goody for the substantial pitch adjustment on this one and of course to Dan who selflessly opened his archives to us so many years ago.
