ZZ Top
King Biscuit Flower Hour - The Best Of King Biscuit
The Capitol Theatre, Passaic, New Jersey
To Be Aired On August 31, 1980
Pre-FM Recording
Vinyl Rip
Flac Level 8 & MP3 320kbps
Cue Sheet & Label Scans Included
Lineage:
ZZ Top live onstage > soundboard > multitrack recording > DIR broadcasting mixdown engineers > DIR broadcasting mastering engineers > records delivered to radio stations > the mysterious vinyl liberation front > me
Vinyl cleaned with Nagaoka roller record cleaner. Played back on Technics SL-1200 turntable with Stanton 681EEE cartridge through an Akai preamp into a SoundBlaster Live! 16 bit soundcard that has been grounded.
Wavelab 4.0 used for Digital ReMastering. Although I did use some compression techniques and De-Crackling plug-ins, in no way do they detract from the raw dynamism of the performance on stage.
Recording levels boosted and balanced, initial De-Clicker to remove most pops, stereo expansion 33%, multiband compression to re-enforce lows and air-out the highs, dynamics processing for smoothing, another De-Crackler to take out most ticks and picks, final mix compression and limiting.
Trader's Little Helper turned the wav files to FLAC level 8 files.

Sourced From The Original Radio Broadcast LP Set
Billy Gibbons – vocals, guitar
Dusty Hill – bass, keyboards, vocals
Frank Beard – drums, percussion, backing vocals
King Biscuit billed this as ZZ Top's first radio concert (it says it on the cue sheet). ZZ Top were on tour for their 6 studio album Degüello. Degüello was the bands first release for Warner Brothers Records a relationship that continued until 1994's Antenna.

filefactory was down 7 hours between yesterday and today and now when i try to download files it only downloads the firs song and when i try to listen to it i get this message Operation failed. CRC mismatch in file - possible wrong/missing password
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having a hard time with filefactory, sometimes servers go down for some reason or another usually some kind of maintenance. I have checked the links and the files and had no problem downloading either the flac or the mp3.
