Further adjustments carried out (in Audacity)

20 Youth nabbed as sniper (I wonder what 'Youth napped as sniper' would have been like , per my typo initially here + on the text file in the download - the latter left so as not to muck up downloads)

21 Kung fu girls - further encore from a later rebroadcast

Very clear sound quality here - listening at first there seems to be a lot of reverb, and the performance takes a while to warm up but a few tracks in and it's plain sailing.

It all ran slightly too slow: on comparing with other gigs, this was sped up by 1.5pc for the most part. The gain was also raised - to well within the headroom limits - as the volume levels were way too low. I felt it would benefit from more treble (no, I do not have that view on every live recording, there are plenty I find where more bass / less trbele is what's needed) - however as before, I have followed the TTD preferred line of avoiding EQ-ing, and kept this as a straight un eq'd version. An eq'd version has been placed elsewhere (begins with Z, again).

I hope you enjoy this, I have. Please help on my request below, if you can.

Original notes below, and for those who need such things, the original text file is included, untouched.

WANTED -

A copy of the BBC FM broadcast of Blondie at the London Lyceum 22 Nov 1998

I so far received a mono FM version - keen to get a stereo FM version, my understanding it was broadcast on radio at the time, and there was a later re-broadcast too.

-------------- original notes below --------------

I accidently found some audio masters & low gen copies in a box stashed away on the attic.

A lot of them never circulated or have been long out of circulation as i stopped in 1995/1996.

Amongst them Bel Canto, Carmel, Cocteau Twins, Cranes, Blondie, Slowdive, Siouxsie etc

I'll be uploading them all, just so they go back in circulation again.

All audience masters were made with a Sony WMD-3 with default mic attached to my cap/hat

This way i top over the crowd & will have the best clear quality possible

Also included are some VPRO sessions, and some other radiobroadcasts.

I will keep track of the uploads & post a list of previous recordings.

This way you shouldn't miss any of them.

I have an impeccable ratio, so i won't seed too long. So a great opportunity for some to

gain ratio on em. Keep em shared as long as possible. Enjoy!

Number 8 is a real oldie but a freakin' excellent show by Debbie Harry & Co....Blondie!

An excellent radio transmission made by a friend of mine, from a full hour VPRO radio.

It's unsure if this is the complete show, it is the complete broadcast.

All i know is they go for it 101%, considering the energy of the recording and sweaty debbie pics
