i am looking for the best available sources of the 3 songs from the february 1982 basement demo (1969, good things, alice) in lossless quality. are the versions on the keny giles bootleg the best ? if yes, please upload the songs in lossless, as i own an mp3 version of the compilation only. thank you very much !!!

Try Dimeadozen. There's a share on there with the best sources for lots of rarities, 81-86. IIRC, it uses Kenny Giles Walks as the source. Personally, I don't like the sound of that bootleg (too compressed), but I don't think I've heard any alternatives.

i have the 3 cd compilation "demos and ouutakes 81-86" and it sounds nice...but the alice-demo (3 songs) is not included there. i managed to get a lossless copy from the "kenny giles walks on water" and did some EQing and speed correction to add them to the 3 cd.

Well then that's as good as it gets - the tracks on the torrent are sourced from the same CD.

Please let us hear your results, if you've improved on them that would be very useful for some of us ;)

i only tried to improve the horrible quality of the three "alice" demotracks (i added to the compilation). the stuff on the 3 cd box was great. i had to fix some azimuth problems here and there and restored peaks and amplitudes of the third disc, that's all.
is there any better version available from the "alice" demo ???

It's those 3 tracks to which I refer.

There are no better versions AFAIK

with the eq i tried to lower the hiss and make more music audible by boosting some of the upper mid range. sure, it will always sound bad, but i think i did the best possible job, considering the crappy sources...
link will follow soon.
