WALLweed WWRM008
I have no lineage on this I am afraid other than that it came to me as
yet another MoLM disk. I asked around and got hold of what was believed
to be the MoLM SHN*.
* I could and cannot still prove this is one of their releases, it is to
easy to make up a disk and call it something that it is not. It was as
rubbish as what I already had.
It was noisy, it hissed, it had gaps all through it, not short ones
either, but quite a piece was missing from one track.
What was done:-
DE-NOISED FREQUENCY BAND
113.9 Lower Frequency Hz
116.6 Upper Frequency Hz
51.5 Transition Width Hz
LOUDNESS
-0.2dB
OUTPUT
-0.2dB
SUPPRESSED WHITE NOISE
-57.4 dB
Closed gaps and made repairs using cuts from the next night 26th Feb
1980, which was as close as I could find. I really do not like doing
this type of patch as I feel the show then becomes not what it pertains
to be, but in this instance it really did need it doing.
I also used my editors discretion and removed some of the tapers chatter
on the start of CD 2, I just did not feel that it added anything to the
feel of the recording. Just one of the tapers saying how he really felt,
so I cut him out.
Also this show contains some tape damage on CD1 Track 2 which I could do
nothing about, but the quality does improve after this point, I suppose
I could have cut all this out, and patched it in from another night, but
I have explained my reasons for not doing this type of patch in the
paragraph above.
How or why this show was put out in the state that it was in I will
never know, at least we now have something in my mind much better.
Enjoy the show.
