Schallplatten Record Store

Robert Fripp
Hamburg
28 May 1979

Thanks to the magic of his patient old-school listening and a bit of technology, DGM’s engineer Alex Mundy has combined the original reel with a bootleg recording of Fripp’s appearance in the Schallplatten Record Store. Thus we get a slight variation in the audio quality as the different sources align but that’s a small price to pay to be able to hear Fripp’s soloing albeit briefly. The last six minutes are frighteningly good wherein Fripp ups the tension around one repeating morse-like note and the growl of swelling waves, over which we hear mournful swoops and the bee-like cross-picking buzz that presages The Zero Of The Signified. All in all a truly dramatic conclusion.

A murky recording of Fripp's encounter with the audience - wherein he declares an ambition to become the new James Last - is included for completeness.
