The Wea 87 tape that I referred to has been dug up and I realise that I had my facts about Driven wrong. There is a version (#2) that is 5'15. No Synth, no car, no internal edits. The issue with the WEA tape transfer that was shared some time ago is it's in mono and very noisy. Difficult to trust s...

Gaijin has set me off on a bit of an audit. There is a spreadsheet!

I haven't tracked down the source of this version - even though it's been 'available' on P2P for many years.

It's on the Sampler 410.

I now own the SAM410 disc, purportedly without cross-fades.

Great sound. Better performance than last night.

where are you based? i dont have an issue to loan you the copy so you can do a nice transfer for the community but i won't mail the record.

London

There's also the Canadian LP that lists shorter track lengths but I assume that's a misprint. Though I haven't heard it.

I feel as though I've heard that "rough mix" and can't recall anything interesting about it. Perhaps Elon would be interested in loaning their copy to me so we can get a good transfer of it and know for sure?

The SAM-410 promo sounds promising. I've put in an offer for a copy on Discogs.

If it's the same pre-FM transfer shared on the 80/85 group then it's the same transfer available officially.

They broadcast the Manics yesterday by all accounts, so fingers crossed

Appears to be broadcasting from the festival now. Hopefully someone will capture the Sisters' set if it's aired!

The MPEG data is surprisingly easy to extract... :innocent: Really? Do tell.... :innocent: CD-i is a funny format because it doesn't conform to the Redbook standard. However most drives will recognise a disc is present, but can't do anything with it. What you need to do is create an image of the di...

incoming!

Let's not forget that Show was released on the failed Philips CD-i digital video format in glorious 368x224!

The MPEG data is surprisingly easy to extract...

Now live!

Cheers all!

Indeed.

I think it's a repressing of the Rhino remaster.
