Review: The place is Patti Smith's apartment, around the corner from the Lexington Avenue streetwalkers and above a liquor store... On the floor is... Teenage Perversity And Ships In The Night, a bootleg version of Horses which Patti almost prefers to the original. These days they don't bootleg just anybody. The cover is a removable sheet of paper with an interesting photo of Patti that is stuck between a cellophane wrapper and an anonymous, totally blank white jacket. The record itself is thick and heavy, the equivalent of Coke bottle eyeglasses, and looks like a meteor that dropped from outer space. The song titles were made up to hide the fact that the record is actually a bootleg. It was pirated by World Records, which is, along with Round Records, one of the all-time great names. (from "Patti Smith: Can You Hear Me Ethiopia?" by Scott Cohen, Circus Magazine, December 14, 1976 http://www.oceanstar.com/patti/intervus/761214ci.htm) Review: Recording of Patti's Roxy (L.A.) concert, Jan 30, 1976. Sound quality and performance excellent (Iggy Pop makes a surprise appearance). This is probably the most copied Patti bootleg -- it also came out as Canine Teardrops (TAKRL 1982), Patti Smith (Fantasy Discos F7854), Teenage Perversity and Ships in the Night (TAKRL 919), and unlabeled. The Fantasy Discos and TAKRL 919 versions have a deluxe B/W covers; the rest are blank or have paper inserts. (from Oceanstar bootleg discography - http://www.oceanstar.com/patti/info/bootlegs.htm#teenage) Every copy I have of this recording is balanced too far towards the high end. I've lowered that slightly and boosted the bass. The monitor buzz is in the source. Source: LP > Tape > TotalRecorder 24/192,000 + splitting + depth conversion to 16/44,100 > Waves L3 MultiMaximizer in SoundForge > dbAmp flac encoder (level 6) Overall sound quality: A- ***** NB 1: Most of my recordings were received as tape or cd-r trades. I can't vouch for the source or generation of any recording not made by me and marked as being copied from the "Master" (this is NOT one). Sound quality is a qualitative judgement.
