Is it just my copy or is there little to no top end on the 84 session?
The 82 & 83 are lovely and crisp, but the 84 one seems to be quite dull in comparison

I got this from Spotify support:
Thanks Mark.We’ve checked it out and see what you mean, so we’ve passed it on to the Content team for review. Hopefully they’ll have this sorted for you soon. Please be aware this could take several weeks to be reflected in the app.
Do you remember a time when angels... do you remember a time when fear?

It's not just you, and I've noticed this on '84 from other sources too. The top end is actually there, it's just seriously muted by comparison and the whole thing needs some serious EQ to make it consistent with the others. Which is seriously weird if intentional.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
Glad it's not just me then. Thanks for that.
& you're right. It's way down in the mix. Maybe it was just a case of them getting used to the new Doktor.

Germany too. Maybe it was some licensing/rights issue?
Clearly now the past mistakes
The giant steps we had to take
The path that ever promise made to
Die in dream dissolve and fade

Still has the start of 'No Time To Cry' missing and a tape slipping noise in 'Floorshow.' Managed to fix those but surely the original masters haven't been damaged in this way?
Edit - Thinking about this. When 6 Music were rebroadcasting the sessions, they probably wouldn't have moved the original tapes. I suspect someone was sent to make recordings of them, and didn't make a particularly good job of it, which is where the missing parts and badly loaded tape noise could have come from. I also suspect that nobody went back to the master tapes for Spotify, Amazon, etc. which is why the errors are still there. The missing top end could be down to the abilities of whoever made the recording of the 84 session. They didn't even manage to label the tracks correctly either. Reminds me of the ‘Visioin Thing’ spine. The Sisters back catalogue. Not especially well served is it?

I am a Leeds United fan because I was very naughty in a previous life.

- At the same time niche artists like GD are reaching a fanbase?
- Suicide hasn't aged well.

a shame that the Sisters wont see a penny from it. Hopefully a knock on effect through merch sales & love tickets. as for Ghost Dance they are an active gigging recording product releleasing entity. so not surprised if they have a growing fanbase.alanm wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 10:24I noticed that TSOM hit 1M monthly listeners on Spotify, so I pulled this data again out of interest.alanm wrote: ↑23 Jun 2020, 14:09 Spotify stats pulled for the curious

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
