TAMMY WYNETTE
Pasadena 1982 [no label, 1CD]
Live at Gilley’s (Westwood One 83-01), Pasadena, Texas; probably 1982. Very good radio broadcast (vinyl rip).
Tammy Wynette was one of country music’s best-known artists and biggest-selling female singers during the late 1960s and first half of the 1970s. Wynette was called the “First Lady of Country Music”, and her best-known song is “Stand by Your Man.” After years of medical problems which resulted in numerous hospitalizations, roughly 26 major operations and an addiction to pain medication, Wynette died on April 6, 1998, at the age of 55. - wikipedia

Thanks to original uploader morningcalm; and to mjs820 for sharing the show at Dime.
morningcalm noted:
These shows have been in storage for 40 years. I have cleaned them with Dawn and played them through with a regular turntable to remove soap residue and dirt from the grooves and then another turntable with a heavier tone arm if needed to reduce clicks and eliminate skips (from dirt in the grooves). I then record them if the sound is as good as I can get them.
Lineage:
Vinyl to Technics SL-8035 to Roxio Audio Capture to Soundforge, encoded with Traders Little Helper.
Vinyl is 40 years old and there might be some ticks in the audio.
morningcalm: I did nothing to alter the music. I simply tracked it using Audacity.
