Notes
"The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself."
- Oscar Wilde

The first bunch of Tangerine Tree (consisting of volumes 1 to 8) was opened with a great audience recording of the Nottingham concert of November 8th, 1976, being part of TD's extensive UK tour in autumn 1976. The sound quality is excellent -- in fact this is one of the best sounding TD audience recordings of the seventies. The third track was taken from the bootleg Collected Endings, that had heavy problems with the source tape: Because of the tape recorder running out of power during the concert, the recorded music became faster and faster when playing the tape with correct speed. This flaw was corrected during the remastering for Tangerine Tree Volume 1: Nottingham 1976, thus this CD presents the almost complete concert in a previously unheard sound quality.

This release made the bootleg Me-Rad and part of Collected Endings obsolete, which consist of material from the same concert, but of less excellent sound quality.

The track listing above shows titles according to the naming conventions used throughout this compilation and the revised artwork by Leah Cim. The track listing as printed on the original cover is as follows:

Track 1 33:40
Track 2 32:12
Track 3 13:42

In 2004, all material of this volume has been made officially available through the release of The Bootleg Box Set Vol. 2.

With Tangerine Tree VIII, released in late 2005, this volume has been re-released, providing an even better version of this concert, remastered directly from the master tape, while the originally released version had been taken from a second generation copy.
