"Jon Wizardo has given me all of the cassette tapes he recorded back in his bootleg days. Some were released, or partially released, on vinyl bootlegs, others remain unreleased.
...Some of these transfers will simply represent each side of each cassette as transferred by a friend of mine..... They are all historic recordings and I hope you enjoy them."

Debbie Harry – lead vocals
Chris Stein – guitar
Frank Infante – guitar
Nigel Harrison – bass
Jimmy Destri – keyboards, backing vocals
Clem Burke – drums, percussion, backing vocals

Superb quality.
This is the first time the Jon Wizardo Master Cassettes, which were most likely the sources for the bootlegs mentioned below, are transfered and distributed in a big platform properly tracked and with their known lineage attached.
There are two known bootlegs off these masters: "Live! on Bumstead" and "Blondi Comes Alive". Online versions assemble one last song to the setlist: "Youth Nabbed as Sniper".
If you listen carefully to the bootlegs, both fade out on "Rip Her to Shreds" which makes me believe that someone assembled the song from another performance.

Last Call / Brief Intermission

I am completely out of storage options unless I wanna resurrect my FileFactory account, and that would just be rude, so I am going to have to start emptying out the Mega + Google accounts, at least until I can use WeTransfer again. So get it now because once they are gone, they are not coming back. But I don't have many new transfers, Jan is always a dead month for anniversaries and I wanna finish my book which often involves stopping and playing the songs mentioned within for the full immersive experience. So when I finish the book I will empty out the Mega account and post some more shows. Probably not going to reach the level of intensity of the last year or so however which is why I am not spending / taking donations etc. Decided to pump the money into hard drive and better storage options for my physical media.  In the meantime I was been trying for a few years to get audio resynced to a Jessica Von Rabbit video and the same person filmed Mudhoney from against the stage but
