The Maidenlane Recordings:
a Mick Taylor tribute
Long-time Mick Taylor fan Maidenlane taped a number of Mick’s gigs on the East Coast (mainly in New York City) between November 1986 - May 1993 to preserve his own memories. Around the same time Mick Taylor lived in NYC and thus did a lot of concerts there, with his own bands or as a guest artist with other great musicians.
In our first series we first published the concerts that had never been circulated in any form. By listening to the others we discovered that many of his alternative recordings were interesting too. In the second series we publish the “Maidenlane Tapes Alts” which will feature recordings that are either in better sound quality, more complete or sound differently from previous releases.
In this last series we present the result of mixes and merges which will be similar to the Frankenstein productions (of my FP-series): by “mixing” I mean that I simultaneously record the 2 sources and by “merging” I mean that I record each source on a different channel (one for the left channel and the other for the right).
Of course, we are very grateful to Maidenlane and I also would like to thank nzb for his help (his advice, judgements and expertise have been invaluable to me).

For this show, two versions were already circulating: Source #1 (coming from nzb) has a muddy sound but it’s lossless, mine (source #2) has a better sound, runs at the correct speed but seems to have a limited spectrum (lossy?).
I tried different combinations. The most interesting was using source #2 with the Maidenlane recording. I liked the mixes and the merges so I decided to keep both versions.
All recordings used are declicked and channels are equilibrated.
The first part of the tuning is coming solely from source #2 and the banter after ‘Blind Willie McTell’ is coming solely from the Maidenlane recording.

As usual I used a lot the infos taken from The Mick Taylor Complete Works Database by Nico Zentgraf: [www.nzentgraf.de]
