I was asked a couple of weeks ago if I had the radio broadcast of this show
of AC/Dc at Castle Donnington in August 1984.

As far as I'm aware this show wasn't broadcast but it was professionally
filmed.

I already had a decent audience recording of this show (Source 2 which is used to
patch the gaps), but not a soundboard recording.

That was rectified recently when I was sent an incomplete soundboard recording
of the show.

Consequently this is a result of my efforts. It's not meant to be the definative
recording, I'm sure somewhere out there, there will be a superior source to this.

Source 1 is the soundboard. It lacks bass, it has tape hiss, and the drums sound like 
a packing case being hit. However the sound level is consistant and you do get used to it.
With the assistance of a graphic equaliser you can get it to sound 
very good indeed.

Source 2 is a very good audience recording.

Both recordings have clear vocals and you can clearly here Angus' guitar.

This is the second Brian Johnson era show I have shared. I personally
do enjoy this line-up of AC/DC, and I first say this line-up at Donnington three years previously
when they headlined in 1981.

Not much else to add

I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers
