Does this exist? All tapes I've heard cut out after the first 10 seconds. Does nobody have a full version?

I just got a copy of the gig today, my version cuts out after 47 secs. Round about the second line of Von singing :(

Yes it exists!

I've got a full version of the recording if you need one, sound quality is average to muddy (sorry, personal rating system) but I'll do you copy if you like...

I am interested in the full version of SKOS. Mine cuts out at 1:08.
Email me for a list.

The thought occurs that I might have accidentally misled people here, sorry! I was meaning I have a full live version of 'Some Kind Of Stranger' from an old bootleg compilation tape. If it's just the Leeds show you're after I can't confirm it's that one, I've never been that bothered about live boots so I don't really collect many! Anyway, there's a 1 in 5 (Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh, Blackburn or London) chance it could be Leeds so I've uploaded it to the files section of:

If someone could listen to it and tell which show it is I'd develop a grateful smile :D

It's from London Lyceum 25.3.85. The right channel is awfully distorted as to be useless. When this happens it's best to throw it away, and copy the left channel onto the right, or you can save it as a mono mp3 and halve the bitrate (128kbps stereo = same quality as 64kbps mono for example), and is also a good way to fit more into your 5mb in yahoogroups, especially when most live recordings are recorded with a single mic and theres no benefit from having it as stereo.

Also I noticed you uploaded the whistle test audio. An additional piece of information is that although the show was broadcast on the 4th april it was recorded on the 2nd.

Thanks Dan!

I've tried fiddling about with the channels both ways round, but I think I'm better off waiting until my ears have recovered fom the usual weekend noise trauma to check which sounds best. It's never going to come out wonderfully, but I might as well get rid of any unnecessary distortion :D

I'll adjust the information about the Whistle Test performances too, cheers! By the way, I'd uploaded the track to the ftp 'Incoming' before I read Dan's message so it might be a good idea to delete that until I've cleaned it a little!

Oops, I just discovered one of my speakers is seriously playing up, so the right channel of that mp3 might be ok after all. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
