Another torrent of this a while back featured a remix, and a rough version of Coney Island Baby as far as I recall. This torrent is a straight transfer of some of the CD tracks, with some minor tweaks on the rougher ones, and Coney Island Baby from the Super Golden Radio Shows CD of this gig, while not quite as pristine as the Claim to Fame CD I used for the rest, still nice quality.
The stereo tracks (1-5 in particular) on the Claim to Fame CD, to my ears, have a lovely warm and vibrant sound that need no tweaking or adjusting so they are a straight transfer, bar a reduction in gain to try to get the match to close to the levels of tracks 6-8. The mono tracks (6,7,8, 11) were also from the Claim to Fame but I did various things in Audacity, particularly to reduce the sound of radio interference. Track 9, You Wear it So Well is in beautiful stereo, but a little tuning was done to reduce the sound of some radio interference too.
I'll point out now that I don't always keep precise notes on tweaks, as trial and error is involved and it takes enough time doing the work let alone documenting something that I am doing for myself and simply choosing to share. The bottom line is I have carried out tweaks that sound better on the slightly rougher tracks to my ears, maybe they will to yours too, maybe not.
I have left the fade outs between tracks as I know from bitter experience that conversion to FLAC sometimes cuts a second out here and there, even if I have done track splitting in CD Wave (ie ensuring sector boundaries are maintained)...so shortening the already reasonably tight gap between the songs did not seem worth the risk.
Enjoy.
LOOKING FOR LOU...
Can anyone share these?
Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica 25 November 76
I do actually have the above, but from a very hissy tape. I could work on it and upload but I suspect someone out there may have a better version? It has been shared online in mp3, obviously I'm looking for lossless...
Orpheum Theatre, Boston 29 October 76
I understand a rather nice bootleg of the FM show exists, and was once shared online on a blog a few years back. I've never heard it and would love to!
