The New Barbarians moved to California and here is the Inglewood Forum recording; there has been a release that was allegedly coming from Inglewood titled L.A. Forum (TSP-CD 204) but it turned out to be from Cincinnati! So only two sources remained: one recorded by Mike Millard and released by JEMS; this better source has already been reworked by Captain Acid (see APCD n°50). Note that Captain Acid used only the tracks coming from the Inglewood show and not the 3 San Diego tracks that were in the JEMS release and another (poorer) sounding. Therefore, it was decided to present this other source for the series, not as good but still interesting. It was necessary to do lots of speed adjustments by using the official releases and the JEMS release for reference (this was not too easy to do because of the poor quality of this alternative recording).

Up to I Can Feel The Fire this recording had to be accelerated by +1,6% to be in synch with the Mike Millard recording, but after that it had to be decelerated. On Come To Realise by -3%, on Am I Grooving You/Seven Days by -4%, on Before They Make Me Run by -6% and on Jumpin’ Jack Flash by -8%. In Seven Days at 52’30 a 25 seconds segment is missing (tape flip?). Both channels were rebalanced and rephased. The sound was boosted and the transitions between tracks reworked so that now each starts with a song. In conclusion: this version has a poorer sound but it is more complete (in particular due to Breathe On Me) and it is about 10 minutes longer than the Millard/JEMS-recording. As a matter of fact this is not an excellent recording, but a listenable one .
