Sound Quality = 10 (see below)

Superb performance from, for my money, one of the best electric bluesmen ever.
Fantastic.

The original tape recording levels were set very slightly too high- 
there is some minor wave clippage as a result, but no major distortion etc.
I'd still rate this a '10' sound quality wise, despite this. A nice transfer.

Sound quality key:
10 = comparable in sound quality to professionally 
recorded and officially issued product 
9.5 = relatively minor flaws, e.g. hiss, slight lack of clarity etc
9 = more major flaws, e.g. significant tape wear, more major lack 
of clarity, etc (the best audience recordings likely to get 
this rating)
8.5 = poorer audience recordings, lower gen FM and MD recordings, etc- 
highly significant issues (only likely to have if recordings of 
major significance etc)
8 = very poor, likely to be multiple issues and problems, 
'hard work' listening, likely to be only of major historical 
significance and for reference only (!)
