I too own this recording, although I hadn't really listened to it until recently. ...New speaker cables improved my system and finally made these recordings listen-able. Most of the recordings on the first disc are of very poor quality, but the last few are better. The second disc although raw and suffering major tape hiss is better both spatially and distortion wise.
It seems ironic to me now, but at the time [I'd listened to them] I felt that there was a balance problem, and had assumed this was due to improper positioning of speakers [due to moving/attaching new speaker cables]. I have since taken the time to reposition my speakers correctly and am confident that they're spot on.
I'll give these discs a listen again (over the holidays)and will let you know what I hear.
Happy Holidays!
Mike
