Note

"Big meeting is an extraordinary collage of voices, speeches, songs, brass bands and their electronic transformations, which David Lumsdaine constructed from location recordings of the 1971 Durham Miner's Gala - a record of one of the last of the annual meetings before the county's pits were closed."--Container

Recorded in July 1971 on location in Durham, and mixed in Durham University Electronic Music Studio
