Very rare ... many years no see...going on 30 years ago FIRST issue pressed on transparent CLEAR vinyl ... ONLY issued in Germany as a limited edition, not many collectors ever had the chance to get this rarity:::
Featuring direct in-line soundboard quality!
The problems associated with early live recordings of bands, particularly rock bands, of the 60's, had mostly to do with the limitations of technology brought on by PA systems just not being able to handle the level of sound. It was very rare for an engineer at the time to actually record a band performance because, again, the limitations of technology and portable equipment were in their infancy. So a lot of early performance recordings were done by people in the audience, using battery powered reel-to-reel machines that were small enough to carry around on your shoulder, a microphone stuck in front of a stage speaker and hoping for the best because you couldn't hear anything once the band got started. And that's how the Bootleg industry was born. Or, as luckily with this gem, the local radio outlet would send a recording team and a truck loaded with equipment parked outside the venue and sometimes their own sound system, and a great recording was made and everybody was happy. Sometimes the band would release that live performance as an album and then the record company was happy. As time went on the technology evolved and companies such as the forward thinking "Document Recordings" from Germany who released some very essential rarities, and collectors were happy.
So here is a highly interesting performance that was recorded by Sveriges Radio, the network in Sweden, who sent a team & recording truck to record the newly formed Traffic, performing in Stockholm in September of 1967.
Traffic during their exciting, formative period, around the time of their first album. The overall sound is surprisingly strong but a little quiet in places (particularly during announcements). But for a historic document, a wonderful glimpse into a band that went on to become a legend in rock, whose music is still enjoyed and discovered by new fans, this one for that reason is quite amazing. Enjoy.
Here is what you'll be hearing: Traffic - Stockholm - Sept 12, 1967
