A quick request. If you plan on downloading this and putting it on your YouTube channel or your own bootleg page - I don't mind. But a credit to this website where you found it, and a link back to this page would be really appreciated. It helps me gauge which artists are popular - ie more chance of other restorations coming. Don't just steal it and take the credit (you know who you are). Thanks.
This audience recording was originally sent to me by a regular listener to these shows, along with a request..."can you do something with this?".
Well, you can hear a clip of what he sent me in the intro in the file below but basically...I didn't think I could! It sounded like it was recorded outside the venue, through a door. The recording had deteriorated quite a bit, it was running at the wrong speed, there were several bits of distortion...there was a lot to do. But I honestly didn't think there was enough of the gig itself there to do much with.
But I had a go, and I was wrong! It was never going to end up as a crystal clear recording worthy of an official release but after spending quite a few hours on it - it has turned out very listenable! And at least now sounds like it was recorded INSIDE the venue...and Andy no longer sounds like he's been castrated...
So download it, have a listen to the intro, the original recording...and then the restoration and hear the difference! An interesting set, featuring a very early live airing for the as yet unreleased Enola Gay, and a cover of Dalek I Love You's Two Chameleons and The Velvet Underground's Waiting For The Man.
The restored recording is now available for free HERE. You can safely download this restored, unique recording as one 320 kbps MP3 file with no nasty pop ups or ads getting in the way.
All the shows on the site including this one are also available as separate, properly tagged MP3s or lossless files in FLAC format; head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can support the site and donate towards storage and web costs for less than the price of a coffee - and get something back in return.
Absolutely no obligation to do so though; the free files will always remain free. Enjoy the show!
