Peel 82 & jensen 83 - full versions in hq?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

As these belong to the most important sisters outings of all time, do full versions exist in high quality?
Jensen: burn, heartland (early fade out) & jolene (beginning) are not complete in my hq versions, had to add these snippets from worse sources.
Peel: floorshow beginning.
Do the full versions also exist in high quality?

These were just shared as flac in the Sharing Section. I've not grabbed those versions, but perhaps they will sort you out.

Edit: Forgot to add, digital radio is not streamed as flac, I think it's no better than 256kb/s. It's up to you what you chose.

Alternately:

The versions seem nice enough. The versions of Alice and Floorshow ran into each other so you'll have to consider your options there. The intro to Alice can be remade easily, but restoring the Floorshow outro needs mad skills.

Depends what you mean by HQ really.
If you have the original FM Peel ones taped off the FM Peel broadcast, then yes they do.
AFAIK, Jensen's show wasn't an FM broadcast at the time & so only an AM version would be an original.
The ones posted recently were 6Music rebroadcasts & although they are crystal clear & stereo, they are in fact 128mbps MP2 files (as 6Music is a digital only channel) blown up into flac containers.
But that's not to say recompress them. You'll just compress something that's already compressed for a second time & it'll be wrecked even further :wink:
Cheers.

I guess i have all these versions in perfect quality. But those tracks mentioned above have early fade outs. If i remember correctly i used the boot ghostly crew to add the missing bits from the endings, and this one really has poor sound.

Although, when mixing my version i took reference from that poor ghostly crew sound in terms of boosting the hiss frequencies (~1500-3000hz) to enrich the overall sound

Exercise in futility trying to match a bootleg to the digital rebroadcasts.

But go ahead

In this case it was not a big thing, there were others

Surely that can be looped then? What is the full length of the broadcast version?
