Heartland

Hi.

I've had a rought decade, beeing a single parent and all. But I'm slowly finding my way back to one of my hobbies; transfering vhs to the digital domain.

I have earlier, in colaboration with DocSummer, done the best transfers I could of Wake and Shot, but they were captured as DV. I've now upgraded to a BlackMagic capture card and have done new lossless captures of all my TSOM tapes. The quality gained is very minimal... but it feels better.

One of my old VHS bootlegs claims to contain Wake-material with a different mix. I can't hear anything different at all, besides muffled sound from beeing a high generation copy.

Does anyone know of a name for this bootleg tape? Are there anything different about the mix? The intro is the only thing I notice. (AE sitting at the end of a table saying that they recorded a show. Very short segment.)

There might be (very minor) upgrades to Wake and Shot in the Weeding-section to come.

This also means that it's soon time to actually send that HDD back to DocSummer that I should have done for almost eight years now. I have bunches of very nice enterprise disks laying around, so I think he'll be pleased anyhow. Yea, I'll put the lossless stuff on them.

I think it is the Albert hall amateur video.
Full show except Logic and filmed from the left angle if I remember correctly

No, video-wize this is the normal Wake.

TV broadcast rather than Polygram VHS?

I have this exact bootleg video with the same artwork & typeface. I bought it in Camden Market for £15 back in the early 90s. The artwork colour changed periodically over the years (mine is yellow) and I suspect the "different mix" was just the bootlegger trying to increase the rarity factor.
Back then this was the only way you could get hold of most of the stuff on that tape. These young pups with access to everything on YouTube don't know they're born!

The picture quality on most stuff on my tape are quite appalling.

Is the same true for your copy?

I've not watched it for over a decade as it's all on YouTube now but the Glasgow '83 and York '84 footage was pretty s**t as I recall. The rest was ok to good, so maybe mine is a lower generation copy to yours.

The promo videos are horrific on mine.
