GESCHICHTE:
Dieses Tape wurde von Peter Naef mit einem batteriebetriebenen Spulentonbandgerät 2-spurig Mono aufgenommen. Das heisst es ist auf beiden Seiten bespielt. Der Zutand des Bandes  ist nicht mehr der allerbeste und die Tonqulität ist ziemlich schlecht.
Ich vermute das Peter das Tonbandgerät unter seiner Jacke versteckt hatte, dadurch kam er öfters an die Spulen was ein ziemlich starkes Schlingern verursacht hat.

We are fortunate to have access to the master of a third source recording. Marcel Aeby describes it: "This tape was recorded by Peter Naef on a battery-powered reel-to-reel tape recorder in 2-track mono, meaning, both sides of the tape were used. The tape is not in prime condition and audio quality is poor. I presume Peter hid the tape recorder under his jacket, inadvertently touching the reels now and again, which caused the tape to wobble.

The best currently circulating copies are very close in quality to the master, and are probably no more than one or two analog generations away from it. As Marcel says, the audio quality is poor, making even an identification of the songs by other groups on the tape difficult, and there are noticeable pitch fluctuations.The recording runs 108 minutes, with the Hendrix portion totaling 25:31. The complete contents of the tape, all of it material from Monsterkonzert, are listed here.
