This is one of the most imperfect live mix CDs available, and would simply not obtain a release if it was recorded by a current DJ. But this was recorded in much more primitive times, when DJ technology wasn't as developed and underground clubs were not all about perfect mixing.
On this album you can hear manual adjustments to record speeds, trainwreck mixing and even some ill-advised mix selections, as well as analogue sound quality.
Yet it all sounds a bit better than your run-of-the-mill mix. Why then, is this CD apparently so great?
Because you can really feel the passion (and creativity) the DJ has for these sounds, and the quality is so high that the recording's technical imperfections don't detract from the experience.
Just imagine that you are there. This is your first rave, a visit to the Paradise Garage during the 1970s, and the underground, exciting atmosphere that comes with it. Would you have been listening out for technically-perfect DJing, or would you have been having the time of your life, at the start of something significant?
Since I've first listened to this, I have listened to it dozens of times, and it still sounds amazing. Get this and listen to history being made. It really is that good.
