These couple of screen shots come from an instore performane at the HQ of label Those Old Records.


 



In their live performances Peter will often be seen brandishing a Reslo RB Ribbon Microphone as his vocal mic, sometimes the lesser spotted Grundig GRM ribbon mic will be utalised.

The album is in glorious mono recorded live with no overdubs. Gear included RCA & ST&C ribbon microphones & Ampex microphone preamps.

Sellers PFC Auctions also have a signed letter from Nigel Greenberg which accompanies the mic, part of which states: “At the time that the Cavern closed in February 1966, following Ray McFall’s bankruptcy, we had one of the Cavern’s Reslo ribbon microphones in our studio for repair to its cable...the Reslo ribbon microphone which was [sic] been in my possession ever since."
